Post-Game Analysis

How our model performed

The Devils defeated the Bruins 4-3.

  • Home Field Advantage favored the Devils and was a notable factor: Devils are 0-0 at home this season
  • Offensive Efficiency favored the Bruins and was a contributing factor: Bruins offense (3.3 PPG) outpaces Devils (2.5 PPG)
  • Recent Form was neutral and a contributing factor: Similar form: Devils (31-29) vs Bruins (34-22)
