Post-Game Analysis

How our model performed

The Islanders defeated the Maple Leafs 6-2.

Our model predicted the Maple Leafs would win with 53% confidence, but the Islanders won against the model's expectation. Results like this help us refine the model.

Looking at the factors our model weighed:

  • Home Field Advantage favored the Islanders and was a notable factor: Florida Panthers are 0-0 at home this season
  • Defensive Efficiency favored the Maple Leafs and was a contributing factor: Colorado Avalanche defense (2.4 Opp PPG) better than Florida Panthers (3.3 Opp PPG)
  • Offensive Efficiency favored the Maple Leafs and was a contributing factor: Colorado Avalanche offense (3.8 PPG) outpaces Florida Panthers (3.0 PPG)
