How our model performed

The Ducks defeated the Canadiens 4-3.

Our model predicted the Canadiens would win with 58% confidence, but the Ducks won against the model's expectation. Results like this help us refine the model.

  • Home Field Advantage favored the Canadiens and was a notable factor: Canadiens are 0-0 at home this season
  • Offensive Efficiency was neutral and a contributing factor: Similar offensive efficiency (3.5 vs 3.3 PPG)
  • Defensive Efficiency was neutral and a contributing factor: Similar defensive efficiency (3.3 vs 3.5 Opp PPG)
