Post-Game Analysis

How our model performed

The Canadiens defeated the Maple Leafs 3-2.

Our model predicted the Canadiens would win with 59% confidence -- and they delivered. Even with modest confidence, the model got this one right.

Looking at the factors our model weighed:

  • Injuries favored the Canadiens and was a major factor: Canadiens healthier: 4 out, 0 doubtful vs Maple Leafs 5 out, 0 doubtful
  • Home Field Advantage favored the Maple Leafs and was a contributing factor: Maple Leafs are 1-1 at home this season; Canadiens are 1-1 on the road (divisional game, reduced advantage)
  • ELO Rating favored the Canadiens and was a contributing factor: Maple Leafs ELO 1465 vs Canadiens ELO 1534 (diff: -70)
  • Both teams are dealing with injuries -- the Maple Leafs have 5 player(s) ruled out, while the Canadiens have 4.

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