    The teams in BOLD have a rest advantage today.  For what it's worth, the last time I tracked this the better rested teams went 5-2.  I need to collect more data before we jump to any conclusions though.  Better rest doesn't make up for being a shitty team lol

     

    VAN/OTT

    MON/WAS

    CAL/CBJ

    CAR/STL

    TOR/UTAH

    DAL/ANA 

     

    In the TB/PIT and EDM/NAS games, both teams are playing their 3rd game in 4 nights.  Some could argue the team that hasn't traveled is better rested in these situations.

     

    Unrelated, Columbus fired their coach last night.  Some teams get an energy bump after firing a coach, but Columbus just returned from a road trip and some teams are sluggish in their first game back from a roadie.  I'm not touching this game

    Both teams are playing their 3rd game in 4 nights, and 4th game in 6 nights.  That said, the Bruins have been at home the whole time and could be considered better rested.

    Interesting angle. I used to weigh rest heavier but got lazy also it’s hard to have two angles. I could try out a second system with that alone lol anyway too many angles

    The stars might lie but the #’s never do…I feel lucky today

    Winnipeg was also rested.  The 2 angles I look at are if a team is either playing their 3rd game in 4 nights and if they're playing their 4th game in 6 nights.

     

    Speaking of Winnipeg, looks like they might be starting to streak in the positive direction...

    Teams with a rest advantage went 5-1.  And the 1 loss probably doesn't count due to Columbus playing hard for their new coach.  

     

    If you take Columbus out of it, the other 5 teams scored a total of 5 goals combined.  Def something to track going forward!

    Teams with a rest advantage went 5-1.  And the 1 loss probably doesn't count due to Columbus playing hard for their new coach.  

     

    If you take Columbus out of it, the other 5 teams scored a total of 5 goals combined.  Def something to track going forward!
