Post-Game Analysis

How our model performed

The Canucks defeated the Oilers 6-5.

Our model predicted the Canucks would win with 51% confidence -- and they delivered. A close call, but the model's slight lean proved correct.

Looking at the factors our model weighed:

  • Injuries favored the Canucks and was a major factor: Canucks healthier: 5 out, 0 doubtful vs Oilers 8 out, 0 doubtful
  • Home Field Advantage favored the Oilers and was a major factor: Oilers are 2-0 at home this season; Canucks are 0-2 on the road (divisional game, reduced advantage)
  • ELO Rating favored the Oilers and was a contributing factor: Oilers ELO 1528 vs Canucks ELO 1451 (diff: +77)
  • Both teams are dealing with injuries -- the Oilers have 8 player(s) ruled out, while the Canucks have 5.

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