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.

On the puck line, Dukla Trenčín −1.5 is priced at 32%, which fits a one-goal projection: the model expects the home side to win, but not by two. The spread and the total both reflect a tight game rather than a comfortable home win.
