Post-Game Analysis

How our model performed

The Senators defeated the Bruins 7-2.

Our model predicted the Senators would win with 54% confidence -- and they delivered. A close call, but the model's slight lean proved correct.

Looking at the factors our model weighed:

  • Home Field Advantage favored the Senators and was a contributing factor: Senators are 0-0 at home this season (divisional game, reduced advantage)
  • Recent Form was neutral and a contributing factor: Similar form: Senators (30-22) vs Bruins (34-22)
  • Defensive Efficiency was neutral and a contributing factor: Similar defensive efficiency (3.2 vs 3.1 Opp PPG)

This analysis was generated from our model's pre-game assessment compared against the actual result. Factor accuracy helps improve future predictions.
