What It Means:

Ward is mired in an awful slump lately, going winless in his last six starts. He owns a 0-4-2 record, .883 save percentage, and a3.21 goals against average since February 11. Things don't get much better on Thursday as he faces the fourth-best offense in the NHL in the Rangers who score 3.18 goals per game.

Our models project Ward as the second-worst goalie option of the night with 2.6 goals allowed, 23.7 saves, and a 35.0% chance of winning.
