The chance that the player scores at least once, overtime included: his share of his team’s goals this season (recent games count more) times the goals we expect from his team. Tested on two NHL seasons. There is no lineup feed: a player who sits out keeps his row and counts as a miss.
Who will win Punks Vilnius vs Riga Prizma?
Riga Prizma are the pick to win, including overtime and a shootout, at 55% with a projected 4–3 scoreline.
The model makes Riga Prizma a narrow favourite at 55% even though they are the away side in this Latvian Hockey League meeting with Punks Vilnius. The rating gap is what drives it: adjusted for opponents, Riga Prizma sit at −0.52 goals per game against an average team while Punks Vilnius are at −1.09, a 0.57-goal edge that home ice only partly offsets at roughly 0.21 goals a game. In regulation the split is 47% for Riga Prizma and 17% for a tie after three periods, with that tie heading to overtime and possibly a shootout.
Neither team arrives in good shape, and the recent form is ugly on both sides. Punks Vilnius have won 1 of their last 5 while scoring 1.0 and allowing 7.4 goals a game, and Riga Prizma have won 0 of their last 5 while scoring 2.0 and allowing 6.2. The table reflects that: Punks Vilnius are 7th and Riga Prizma 8th, so this is a matchup between two of the league's lower-placed sides rather than a contest between in-form teams.
The head-to-head record is short and favours the home team, with the single recent meeting going to Punks Vilnius and the latest finishing Riga Prizma 2–4 Punks Vilnius on 2026-09-19. That result is the underdog's case, and it sits alongside home ice as the main reason the model stops well short of a clear favourite. The market still leans to Riga Prizma, but at 55% the edge is thin enough that the model itself describes this as close to a coin flip and advises treating the lean with care.
The projected 4–3 score has Riga Prizma winning by one, which sits under the −1.5 puck line, and that line carries just 33%. The 7.5 total goals line is the other side of the same projection: 7.5 goals projected against a 7.5 line leaves the under at 55%, so the numbers point to a one-goal game that lands right around the total rather than comfortably above it.
Riga Prizma to win, overtime and shootout included, at 55%, with a projected score of 4–3.
