Post-Game Analysis

How our model performed

The Hurricanes defeated the Predators 6-5.

Our model predicted the Hurricanes would win with 57% confidence -- and they delivered. Even with modest confidence, the model got this one right.

Looking at the factors our model weighed:

  • Home Field Advantage favored the Hurricanes and was a major factor: Hurricanes are 1-0 at home this season; Predators are 0-1 on the road
  • Injuries favored the Predators and was a major factor: Predators healthier (0 out, 0 doubtful) vs Hurricanes (2 out, 0 doubtful)
  • ELO Rating favored the Hurricanes and was a contributing factor: Hurricanes ELO 1575 vs Predators ELO 1491 (diff: +84)
  • The Hurricanes are without 2 player(s) due to injury, which could tilt the matchup.
