  • Before same-day lineup input, the base OLDMODEL2.0 forecast had Chicago Blackhawks at 26.46 and New York Rangers at 27.45, so the base edge already leaned New York Rangers by 0.99 shots.
  • Tonight-specific layers moved Chicago Blackhawks by -1.68 and New York Rangers by +0.90 shots versus the base forecast.
  • Schedule impact landed at -1.55 plus trigger -1.00 for Chicago Blackhawks, and +0.73 plus trigger +0.58 for New York Rangers.
  • Chicago Blackhawks's projected lineup looks close to its usual core, so the lineup layer mostly confirmed the base read.
  • New York Rangers's projected lineup looks close to its usual core, so the lineup layer mostly confirmed the base read.
  • Defense absences added +0.00 shots to Chicago Blackhawks and +0.00 to New York Rangers when the opponent blue line looked materially weaker than normal.
  • Longer-memory roster events added +0.00 for Chicago Blackhawks and +0.01 for New York Rangers, so major trades and long absences do not get forgotten too quickly.
  • After lineup adjustment, the model still leans to New York Rangers: Chicago Blackhawks 24.78 vs New York Rangers 28.35.
  • The side edge moved from +0.99 to +3.57 home-minus-away, while total expected shots moved to 53.13.

  • Schedule impact landed at +0.15 plus trigger +0.00 for Detroit Red Wings, and +0.68 plus trigger +0.79 for Buffalo Sabres.
  • Detroit Red Wings's projected lineup looks close to its usual core, so the lineup layer mostly confirmed the base read.
  • Buffalo Sabres still carries lineup watch-list risk (Noah Ostlund (F3, GTD)), but the projected skaters are close enough to the usual core that no same-day roster penalty fired.
  • Defense absences added +0.00 shots to Detroit Red Wings and +0.00 to Buffalo Sabres when the opponent blue line looked materially weaker than normal.
  • Longer-memory roster events added +0.00 for Detroit Red Wings and +0.00 for Buffalo Sabres, so major trades and long absences do not get forgotten too quickly.
