2 modelsScratch Shift, NHL Ice EdgeWhy 2 models like it
Scratch Shift- Chabot's 2025-26 baseline was 57 games, 7 goals, 99 shots and 22:35 TOI/game; the early-season role is real, but rates are shrunk.
- Ottawa has 22 goals and about 208 shots through 9 games; Chabot accounts for 4.5% of goals and roughly 9.1% of shots.
- Florida also loses Aleksander Barkov, Brad Marchand and Jacob Markstrom; Akira Schmid starts, materially offsetting the Ottawa scratch.
NHL Ice Edge- Florida's last-10 5v5 Corsi proxy is 58.1% versus Ottawa's 44.7% (+13.4 points).
- Season possession baseline also favors Florida: 57.7% Corsi versus Ottawa's 46.6%.
- Projected goalies are not both officially confirmed: Akira Schmid is expected for Florida and Linus Ullmark is the likely Ottawa starter.

Cohort Check- Own price: Ottawa 55%, 3.8 points above the sharp-book devig at 51.2%.
- Confirmed Linus Ullmark owns a .945 save percentage and 1.33 GAA; Florida starter Akira Schmid is at .878 and 3.25 GAA.
- Schmid's three-start sample is thin, and Florida still averages 3.333 goals and 29.11 shots per game.
Morning Puck- Ullmark is projected for Ottawa after a 0.9451 save percentage and 1.33 GAA through seven starts.
- Florida's Markstrom is out 1, 2 weeks; Schmid is expected to start after a 0.8776 save percentage and 3.25 GAA.
- Schmid is a backup-level starter, so a poor Florida matchup could erase the modeled edge quickly.
