Wild @ Oilers: the model and market comparison

A closer look at the Wild @ Oilers alert, with its original numbers.

Deviate hockey alert card: Wild @ Oilers; +5 percentage-point edge; model 89%, market 84%; outcome won.

The alert

Wild @ Oilers — Edmonton Oilers +2, 19:09 left P3. Model 89%, market 84%, gap 5 percentage points; side: Edmonton Oilers. Sent 11:12 PM ET on Oct 20, 2026. Outcome: won.

Edmonton Oilers currently lead and our historical model gives them a ~89% chance to win from this exact situation (Edmonton Oilers +2, 19:09 left P3). Kalshi's market is pricing the same outcome at 84% (84¢ on YES for Edmonton Oilers). That's a 5-point gap between the historical rate and the market price, so the contract looks underpriced relative to history. This reflects historical frequencies, not a guarantee. Late-game variance, injuries, and fouling situations can and do flip outcomes.
