Post-Game Analysis

How our model performed

The Sharks defeated the Maple Leafs 4-1.

Our model predicted the Sharks would win with 55% confidence -- and they delivered. A close call, but the model's slight lean proved correct.

Looking at the factors our model weighed:

  • Home Field Advantage favored the Sharks and was a notable factor: Sharks are 0-0 at home this season
  • Rest Days favored the Maple Leafs and was a contributing factor: Maple Leafs rest advantage (3 days rest) over Sharks (1 day rest)
  • Recent Form was neutral and a contributing factor: Similar form: Sharks (30-25) vs Maple Leafs (27-25)

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