Q&A: Projected Lineups and Starting Goalies
What are NHL projected lineups?
They are the latest expected player combinations, starting-goaltender decisions and special-teams units available before puck drop.
What does a green goalie marker mean?
Green means the starting goaltender was explicitly confirmed when IceHockeyMan captured the lineup snapshot.
What does a yellow goalie marker mean?
Yellow means High Confidence: the goaltender was listed as expected but can still change before the game.
Why are power-play units included?
PP1 and PP2 show the current special-teams hierarchy and the players expected to receive power-play usage.
Can the lineup change after publication?
Yes. Warm-ups, late scratches and coaching decisions can alter the final lineup before faceoff.
