Post-Game Analysis

How our model performed

The Hurricanes defeated the Canadiens 6-4.

Our model predicted the Hurricanes would win with 55% confidence -- and they delivered. Even with modest confidence, the model got this one right.

Looking at the factors our model weighed:

  • Injuries favored the Hurricanes and was a major factor: Hurricanes healthier: 2 out, 0 doubtful vs Canadiens 5 out, 0 doubtful
  • Home Field Advantage favored the Canadiens and was a notable factor: Canadiens are 3-0 at home this season; Hurricanes are 2-1 on the road
  • Recent Form favored the Canadiens and was a contributing factor: Canadiens (1-0) in better form than Hurricanes (1-1)
  • Both teams are dealing with injuries -- the Canadiens have 5 player(s) ruled out, while the Hurricanes have 2.
