Atlas's numbers the whole score grid
| Outcome | Atlas |
|---|---|
| Blue Jackets in regulation | 34.8% |
| Level after sixty minutes | 22.8% |
| Stars in regulation | 42.4% |
| Blue Jackets by two or more | 25.9% |
| Stars by two or more | 33.3% |
| Goals in the game | Atlas |
|---|---|
| More than 4.5 | 72.2% |
| More than 5.5 | 47.9% |
| More than 6.5 | 37.2% |
| More than 7.5 | 19.1% |
Expected goals: Blue Jackets 2.73, Stars 3.01, overtime's goal included. The likeliest finals: Blue Jackets 2–3 (7%), Blue Jackets 3–2 (7%), Blue Jackets 1–4 (5%).
Goalies the expected starters
| Team | Goalie | Chance he starts | Goals saved a game |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stars | Jake Oettinger | 74% | +0.15 |
| Stars | Casey DeSmith | 26% | +0.07 |
| Stars | Scott Wedgewood | 0% | +0.11 |
| Blue Jackets | Cam Talbot | 49% | -0.11 |
| Blue Jackets | Jet Greaves | 48% | +0.14 |
| Blue Jackets | Elvis Merzlikins | 3% | -0.11 |
Atlas prices the expected starter: each goalie by his share of recent starts, marked down after a start the night before. Goals saved are above expected, a game at the league's shot volume, shrunk hard: a season of starts is still mostly noise.
What the model reads each team, against the league
| Per 60 minutes, against the league | Stars | Blue Jackets |
|---|---|---|
| 5-on-5 offence | -0.19 | -0.12 |
| 5-on-5 defence | +0.38 | +0.10 |
| Power play | +1.00 | -0.17 |
| Penalty kill | +0.54 | -0.63 |
| Finishing | -0.03 | +0.01 |
Expected goals for and against at 5-on-5 and on special teams, and goals scored over expected, each carried across seasons and updated after every game.

The NHL model walked forward over every season since 2013-14 it never saw, against the closing moneyline: how often the side Atlas rated above the market won.
