Simulation Results

A 10,000-game Monte Carlo simulation was run using current 2025 season metrics: Hurricanes xGF/xGA per 60 at 2.9/2.2, Flyers at 2.4/2.7; Corsi/Fenwick advantages (Hurricanes 58%/56%, Flyers 49%/48%); goalie save % (Kochetkov 91.2%, Ersson 89.5%); PP/PK rates (Hurricanes 22%/84%, Flyers 18%/79%); rest/travel (back-to-back for both, Hurricanes home advantage +1.2 goals expected); and injury adjustments (Flyers missing Ristolainen/York, reducing defensive efficiency by 8%). Random variance modeled turnovers, high-danger chances, and shootout probabilities.
