Post-Game Analysis

How our model performed

The Wild defeated the Canucks 5-2.

Our model predicted the Wild would win with 63% confidence -- and they delivered. Even with modest confidence, the model got this one right.

Looking at the factors our model weighed:

  • Rest Days favored the Wild and was a major factor: Wild rest advantage (5 days rest) over Canucks (back-to-back)
  • Home Field Advantage favored the Wild and was a notable factor: Base home field advantage applied (no detailed stats available)
  • Defensive Efficiency was neutral and a contributing factor: No defensive stats available for comparison

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