LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Red Wings ML
Final Score5-4
Result-1u

📊 Recap

The Red Wings couldn't hold on in a tight one, falling 5-4 despite the situational edge working in their favor on paper. The rest differential angle was sound — sometimes a well-priced spot simply doesn't convert, and that's the nature of working with probabilities.

Our Pick
Blue Jackets ML
Final Score7-3
Result-1u

Our Pick
Canadiens ML
Final Score3-4

📊 Recap

Montreal handled business at home, converting their structural edge over a short-rested, Dahlin-less Buffalo squad into a 4-3 win. The model's 65.1% implied probability held up — disciplined process, clean result.

NHL Lightning @ Rangers
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Lightning ML
Final Score1-4
Result-0.5u

📊 Recap

Lightning ML ❌ — Rangers won 4-1, with Garand turning in a strong performance that defied our regression expectations. The logic held; the result didn't. Variance is part of the game on narrow-edge plays.

NHL Blues @ Senators
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Blues ML
Final Score7-2
Result+1u

📊 Recap

The situational edge played out in full — Ottawa's back-to-back fatigue showed early, and St. Louis pulled away convincingly in a 7-2 blowout. The line movement we identified pre-game reflected sharp money that knew exactly what it was doing.

NHL Wild @ Jets
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Jets ML
Final Score2-5
Result+1u

📊 Recap

Jets covered the process nicely, pulling away for a convincing 5-2 win. The back-to-back fatigue angle on Minnesota materialized, and Pickard delivered in net — exactly the setup our model identified as a meaningful edge.

NHL Wild @ Jets
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
OVER 6.5
Final Score2-5
Result+0.5u

📊 Recap

The Jets came out and did the work, producing a 7-goal game that cleared the 6.5 threshold comfortably. The rest advantage and Pickard's shaky numbers created the right conditions — the process held up and so did the result.

Posted: 10/13/2026 10:10 AM ET
NHL Avalanche @ Stars
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Avalanche ML
Final Score3-2
Result+0.5u

📊 Recap

Blackwood's regression came through as the Stars' goaltending edge evaporated in a 3-2 Avalanche win. The thesis held — Colorado capitalized on a sustainable process-based edge, even if the margin was slim.

Posted: 10/13/2026 10:10 AM ET
NHL Golden Knights @ Predators
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Predators ML
Final Score5-2
Result-0.5u

📊 Recap

The Predators couldn't capitalize on the scheduling edge, falling 5-2 to Vegas. A narrow edge is still just that — narrow — and this one didn't convert. Small sizing was the right call given the slim model advantage.

Posted: 10/13/2026 10:10 AM ET
NHL Oilers @ Kings
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
UNDER 6.5
Final Score4-1
Result+0.5u

📊 Recap

The Under 6.5 cashed comfortably as the Oilers and Kings combined for just five goals in a 4-1 final. Goaltending settled down as anticipated, and the lean played out cleanly.

Posted: 10/13/2026 10:10 AM ET
NHL Bruins @ Sharks
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Sharks ML
Final Score6-3
Result-0.5u

📊 Recap

The Sharks dropped this one decisively, 6-3, and the process-based edge we identified didn't materialize tonight. Boston handled the west coast road start without issue, and the goaltending regression we anticipated simply didn't show up — a clean loss.
