NHL Philadelphia Flyers @ Washington Capitals
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Tyson Foerster UNDER 0.5 points (-175)
Result+0.57u

📊 Recap

Foerster stayed off the scoresheet, and the factors we leaned on — his limited production rate, Philadelphia's anemic offense, and the back-to-back schedule drag — all held up. Clean result, nothing fluky about it.

NHL Calgary Flames @ Edmonton Oilers
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Oilers ML (-218)
Final Score0-4
Result+0.46u

📊 Recap

The Oilers delivered a commanding 4-0 shutout, validating our confidence in Edmonton's elite offensive firepower and home-ice edge. McDavid and company controlled the game exactly as the model projected, making this a clean, process-driven result.

LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
OVER 6.5 (-112)
Final Score0-4
Result-1u

📊 Recap

The Over 6.5 didn't come close, with a 4-0 final leaving us well short of the number. Edmonton's high-scoring environment simply didn't show up tonight — that's hockey, and the variance is part of the game.

NHL Calgary Flames @ Edmonton Oilers
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Leon Draisaitl UNDER 1.5 points (-120)
Result+0.83u

📊 Recap

Draisaitl stayed within his projected range, and the model's 1.4-point expectation proved accurate enough to keep him under the 1.5 threshold. When the math points clearly in one direction, trusting it pays off — and tonight it did.

NHL Calgary Flames @ Edmonton Oilers
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Matt Coronato OVER 0.5 points (-110)
Result-1u

📊 Recap

Coronato didn't find the scoresheet tonight, and the edge didn't convert — that's part of playing a 56% projection. The process was sound; single-game variance is real, and we move forward.

NHL Calgary Flames @ Edmonton Oilers
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Joel Farabee OVER 0.5 points (-105)
Result-1u

📊 Recap

Farabee didn't find the scoresheet tonight, snapping what had been a strong run of production. The process behind this pick remained sound — the underlying factors were real — but a 57% probability implies losses happen, and tonight was one of them.

NHL New Jersey Devils @ Colorado Avalanche
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Avalanche ML (-175)
Final Score2-5
Result+0.86u

📊 Recap

The structural edge held up exactly as projected — Colorado's rest advantage and Jake Allen in net for a road-weary New Jersey squad made for a clean Avalanche win. A comfortable 5-2 final validated the process from start to finish.

NHL New Jersey Devils @ Colorado Avalanche
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
OVER 6.5 (+102)
Final Score2-5
Result+0.51u

📊 Recap

The Over 6.5 cashed as Colorado's offense delivered, combining with New Jersey for seven total goals. The backup goalie angle and home-team structural edge both materialized as projected — a clean win backed by sound reasoning.

NHL New Jersey Devils @ Colorado Avalanche
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Timo Meier UNDER 0.5 points (-145)
Result+0.69u

📊 Recap

Meier stayed off the scoresheet, and the thesis held — a fatigued skater on the back half of a road back-to-back, running cold on conversions, was always a reasonable fade. Clean result backed by clean reasoning.

NHL Toronto Maple Leafs @ Seattle Kraken
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Kraken ML (+100)
Final Score4-5
Result+0.5u

📊 Recap

The situational edge held up exactly as modeled — Seattle's fresh legs and home ice proved meaningful in a tight game, and Toronto's back-to-back fatigue showed late. Kraken ML cashes in a 5-4 win.

NHL Toronto Maple Leafs @ Seattle Kraken
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
OVER 6.5 (-120)
Final Score4-5
Result+0.83u

📊 Recap

The Over 6.5 cashed in a 5-4 final, with both offenses delivering exactly the kind of combined scoring our projection anticipated. Permissive defensive play on both sides kept the puck moving through the net, validating the structural edge we identified pregame.

Posted: 10/28/2026 9:02 AM ET
NHL Toronto Maple Leafs @ Seattle Kraken
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Auston Matthews UNDER 1.5 points (-200)
Final Score3
Result-1u

📊 Recap

Matthews posted 3 points tonight, clearing our 1.5-point threshold comfortably. The rest-related fatigue variable didn't materialize, and he delivered a performance that made the under untenable — a reasonable line that simply didn't hold up on the night.

Posted: 10/28/2026 9:02 AM ET
NHL Toronto Maple Leafs @ Seattle Kraken
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Darren Raddysh UNDER 0.5 points (-110)
Final Score2
Result-1u

📊 Recap

Raddysh found the scoresheet tonight, and the under 0.5 points prop didn't hold. A modest edge play at roughly 55%, variance like this is expected — the process behind the selection remains sound.

Posted: 10/28/2026 9:02 AM ET
NHL Toronto Maple Leafs @ Seattle Kraken
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Mackie Samoskevich UNDER 0.5 points (-125)
Final Score2
Result-1u

📊 Recap

Samoskevich found the scoresheet tonight, and the under didn't hold. At 57% confidence this was never a lock — the edge was real, the result didn't go our way.
