Kalshi is the mid on a two-sided book; Polymarket is its international book (Polymarket US is a separate venue with its own prices). A gap of 5 points or more is coloured. A gap is disagreement between a model and a market on a long-dated contract — not a guarantee.

Season points

Sim projection: 89.0 points. Kalshi's points ladder prices 85+ closest to a coin flip at 56¢ (sim 71%) — that rung is the market's median, not its mean. Kalshi →

In net: goalie form

Stuart Skinner — allows about 2% fewer goals than the shots he faces should produce · 5 starts in 30 days
Clay Stevenson — allows about what the shots he faces should produce (league average) · 2 starts in 30 days

Goalie factor = goals allowed ÷ expected goals allowed on every unblocked, non-empty-net attempt, shrunk toward league average. It is the layer that moves the game price when the starter changes.

Winnipeg Jets odds — frequently asked

What are the Winnipeg Jets' playoff chances?

Our 10,000-season simulation gives the Jets a 30% chance to make the 2026-27 playoffs (as of Oct 18), with 89.0 projected points. Kalshi's make-the-playoffs contract trades at 41¢, the market's implied probability. The sim re-runs every morning after the night's results.

What are the Winnipeg Jets' Stanley Cup odds?

The sim makes the Jets a 0.1% Stanley Cup winner and Polymarket's international book at 1¢ (as of Oct 18). Those are three different reads — a model and two markets — shown side by side and never averaged. A gap is disagreement, not a guarantee.

Where do the Winnipeg Jets rank in the NHL power ratings?

The Jets rank 23rd of 32 in the Goal Light power ratings (as of Oct 18) — 25th in chance creation and 18th in chance suppression, unchanged from 23rd a week earlier. The ratings come from expected goals with a 45-day half-life, so they move with how a team is playing, not only its record.

When do the Winnipeg Jets play next, and how is the game priced?

Next up: at St. Louis Blues on Oct 20. The model prices each game on game day (10:45 AM ET) once the projected starting goalies post; until then the game shows "not priced yet".

The sim and ratings re-run at 6:15 AM ET; Kalshi and Polymarket prices refresh through the day. Educational analysis, not financial advice. Trade responsibly.
