Inside the Numbers

How It Works

Official data in, transparent math out. No black boxes: the methodology is public.

Official + Market Data

NHL API for scores, standings, and schedules; sportsbook lines from the NHL's partner feed; injuries and transactions from ESPN. Every panel shows its data age.

Monte Carlo Simulation

Thousands of full season + playoff simulations per snapshot, with Bayesian-regressed team strength, zero-sum schedules, home ice, and back-to-back penalties.

Model vs. Market

Our simulated probabilities render next to real sportsbook lines. The gap between them is the whole point. That's where value hides.
