What It Means:

Despite the losing record -- 3-4-2 in his last 10 starts -- Ward has not played that bad with a .914 save percentage while allowing only 2.2 goals per game. In his last start versus Washington on November 12, the veteran netminder allowed only one goal while stopping 20 shots in a 5-1 victory.

Our models project Ward to make 24.2 saves while allowing 2.0 goals with a 49.0 percent chance of winning -- making him our fifth-best goalie option on the night.
