What the published prediction returned once the match was played.
Prediction: San Jose Sharks +2.5 · Handicap. Estimated probability: 73.1 %, based on market odds. No stake: this probability does not justify a bet at the available odds.
Read the full analysisNHL regular-season ice hockey game, played over three 20-minute periods, with possible overtime or a shootout. Montréal hosts at the Bell Centre on October 20 at 7 p.m. EDT.
San Jose was scheduled to play in Toronto on October 19 and then in Montréal on October 20, but the result and exact workload from the first game are unknown. The records displayed on October 20 are not considered, as they are subsequent to the information cutoff.
No recent head-to-head matchup is documented in the retained material. The usable history between the two teams is therefore not established, meaning no prédictive edge can be derived from it.
Scenario favorable to Montreal: the Centre Bell advantage and San Jose's short trip after Toronto may have an impact, while Montreal was preparing for the game at home on October 19. Scenario favorable to San Jose: the team could have had a projected lineup without injured players and a first line including Celebrini-Smith.
This possibility is limited by the second game in two nights, the intercity travel, the uncertainty surrounding Celebrini, and the lack of confirmation regarding the goaltenders and lineups.
Montréal had 22 players at practice on October 19. Ivan Demidov, Mike Matheson, Samuel Montembeault, and Florian Xhekaj were absent, with their status unchanged at that time.
The final lineups and starting goaltender remain to be confirmed. For San Jose, the October 19 projection listed Yaroslav Askarov ahead of Alex Nedeljkovic and mentioned a Celebrini-Smith top line, but it concerned the game in Toronto and does not confirm the lineup in Montréal.
