Post-Game Analysis

How our model performed

The Islanders defeated the Maple Leafs 4-1.

Our model predicted the Islanders 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:

  • Injuries favored the Islanders and was a major factor: Islanders healthier: 2 out, 0 doubtful vs Maple Leafs 8 out, 0 doubtful
  • Home Field Advantage favored the Maple Leafs and was a notable factor: Maple Leafs are 3-4 at home this season; Islanders are 1-4 on the road
  • Recent Form was neutral and a contributing factor: Similar form: Maple Leafs (3-3) vs Islanders (3-3)
  • Both teams are dealing with injuries -- the Maple Leafs have 8 player(s) ruled out, while the Islanders have 2.

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