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 Banská Bystrica vs Dukla Trenčín?

Ban. Bystrica are the pick at home against Dukla Trencin, with a 53% chance to win including overtime and a projected 3–2 score.

Ban. Bystrica hold the seventh-placed Dukla Trencin's neighbours in the table, sitting 8th, and the model gives the home side a narrow 53% edge once overtime and the shootout are folded in. Home ice in this league is worth about 0.40 goals a game, which is the main reason a team that has won only 2 of its last 5 is favoured at all. Dukla Trencin arrive with 3 wins in 5 and a healthier defensive record over that stretch.

Form points in different directions. Ban. Bystrica have scored 3.0 and allowed 3.4 goals a game across their last 5, so their games have been open and they have conceded more than they scored.

Bystrica at +0.03 and Dukla Trencin at +0.02 goals per game against an average team, an edge of 0.01 to the hosts.

The recent head-to-head is a single meeting, and it went Ban. Bystrica's way: Dukla Trencin 3–4 Ban. Bystrica on 2026-09-18. That sample is too small to carry much weight, and the market treats the game as close to even, pricing Ban. Bystrica at 51% on the moneyline across 9 bookmakers once the margin is removed. With about 22% of games like this level after 60 minutes, Ban. Bystrica win in regulation only 41% of the time on our numbers, and the rest of the 53% comes from overtime and the shootout.

The projected 3–2 scoreline sits just above the 5.5-goal line, and the under lands 51% of the time against a projection of 5.7 goals, so the total is close to a coin flip. On the puck line, Ban. Bystrica −1.5 comes in 30% of the time on our numbers, which fits a one-goal projection and a game the model expects to be decided late. Neither line offers much separation, and the market's 51% on Ban. Bystrica matches the cautious lean rather than reinforcing it.
