NHL Predictions: Which Team Will Win The Stanley Cup?
During the COVID-era of hockey, winning at home is down 10% compared to the previous six seasons with away teams winning of matches. With the majority of home games being played in empty arenas and teams dealing with compact schedules, the data proves the logical conclusion that home teams donāt have the familiar advantages since the virus has changed how the game is played. This means home ice advantage for the playoffs may not be as valuable in 2021 as previous seasonās which could benefit lower-seeded teams in the 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs. For more information on the NHL and Stanley Cup odds, check out the NHL Betting Guide .
Methodology
