How the NHL market works
NHL markets center on three things: the moneyline (the most-bet ML market in pro sports per dollar of handle), puck line (-1.5 / +1.5), and the regulation-three-way market (home / away / draw after 60 min). Goaltender usage is the single biggest swing factor.
What the NHL model will weight
The factor stack
When NHL live odds + model context ship, the rating engine will weight the factors below. The shape mirrors the MLB model that's live today, which back-tested at 55% on 2,932 games. The full methodology is at /methodology.
- 01Per-team Elo with adjustment for goaltender starter vs. backup
- 025v5 expected goals rate per 60 minutes
- 03Power-play + penalty-kill efficiency
- 04Schedule density (back-to-backs are common in NHL)
- 05Home-ice advantage smaller than NBA/MLB (~52% home win rate)
