<\/p>\nStrength of Schedule & Pythagorean Expectation<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Using the Pythagorean theorem to predict scores involves calculating expected goals based on past performance and strength of schedule:<\/p>\n
Expected\u00a0Goals=Goals\u00a0Scored2Goals\u00a0Scored2+Goals\u00a0Allowed2<\/span>Expected\u00a0Goals<\/span><\/span>=<\/span><\/span>Goals\u00a0Scored<\/span>2<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>+<\/span>Goals\u00a0Allowed<\/span>2<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Goals\u00a0Scored<\/span>2<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\nFor this analysis:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Winnipeg’s goals per game last season were approximately 3.0 with a strength of schedule factor of 0.500.<\/li>\n
- Edmonton’s goals per game were around 3.7 with a strength of schedule factor of 0.550.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Calculating expected scores using these inputs gives:<\/p>\n
