Overview

A machine learning model designed to predict the outcome of NHL matches. The model has been trained on data from 2010 to 2022 predicting the expected goals for and against. Using a combination of those predictions and ELO ratings, I then calculate offensive and defensive strengths for each team, with which I can predict the outcome of upcoming games, and determine whether my odds have an edge over Vegas.
