Two reasons the projection lands on Vegas Golden Knights: Vegas Golden Knights’s scoring margin profile and Vegas Golden Knights’s recent stretch. Goalie SV% over the last five starts is the variable my margin number can't fully price.
Rafty's Take From the rafters: Vegas Golden Knights closes it Final result is in: Vegas Golden Knights , Anaheim Ducks 1 – Vegas Golden Knights 3.
This is a margin matchup. Vegas Golden Knights is posting +0.3 per game while Anaheim Ducks sits at -0.2 — a 0.4-point margin gap that explains most of the lean the model is showing.
Top performances: Mikael Granlund (1) for Anaheim Ducks; Ivan Barbashev (1) for Vegas Golden Knights.

Rafty’s call: ✓ RIGHT Pre-game pick: Vegas Golden Knights at 69% . Actual: Vegas Golden Knights by 2 .
Formula: expected win rate from points-for vs. points-allowed (anchored), scoring margin, recent form, and home/venue edge, adjusted by league volatility. Refreshes whenever the venue/game workflow republishes game pages.
