Next game
Mon, Oct 19, 9:00 PM ET — home to the Penguins.
Projected starter: Karel Vejmelka, 58% · Sebastian Cossa 42%. That's a projection, not an announcement. Clubs name a starter around the morning skate; until then this is our read of who the books are pricing a saves line on and how the Mammoth have split their starts. It's the same number the saves board and the lineup optimizer use, and every club's is on tonight's starting goalies.

How these lines are built
Every unit above is the group that shared the most five-on-five ice in that game, rebuilt from the NHL's own shift chart. Power plays, penalty kills, four-on-four and empty-net time are cut out, so a top power-play unit can't pass itself off as the first line. Power-play units are measured from power-play time only. The number beside each unit is how long that exact group was on the ice together.
Read it as what the coach did, not as a forecast. A blowout shortens the bench and an injury scrambles everything after it. The full method, and every other club's lines, are on the all-clubs page. Player projections for the Mammoth live on the shots on goal, points and anytime goal boards.
