How the engine works

1

Ingest live data

Current-season results and published rosters are collected from public sources. Coverage and timestamps are shown.

2

Simulate the game

Open the simulator separately to explore the selected matchup. Rankings do not wait for a simulation to finish.

3

Understand the difference

Compare independent model estimates with timestamped market references when settlement rules match. A probability gap is not a guaranteed advantage.

Lineup scenarios · NHL simulator

Choose players, then Save lineup and play. Each run plays 5, 10, 15 or 20 full games; the tables update after every game.

Set the lineup

Pick the match, then tap a shirt to change who starts.

Compare the same opponent with different saved lineups. Scenario results are separate from the saved match forecast.

Your results

Press Save lineup and play above; the results appear here.

What You Can Simulate

Every run plays complete games with the players you saved, and the tables fill in after each one.

Who wins

How often each side wins, overtime and shootout included, beside the market price when a pregame quote is available.

Goals and final scores

Goal totals, both teams to score, team averages and the most frequent final scores.

Anytime scorer

Every skater ranked by the games he scored in, with average goals (shootout goals not counted).

Edit the Lineup, See the Shift

Swap the goalie, move a forward up a line, save and play again. The result card puts your new run beside your earlier one and says when the change is bigger than chance alone usually gives.

  • Players listed out or suspended are already marked
  • Saving a lineup is free; each run uses one custom-lineup simulation
  • Choose 5, 10, 15 or 20 games; one run covers them all

Batch Runs for Deeper Testing

On Pro and Insider, 100 fast simulations test the same saved lineup many times over. A batch uses one custom-lineup simulation, the same as a run, not 100.

Fast scenarios are quicker approximations than the full games a run plays; their ranges show sampling uncertainty, not model error.
