    The Stanley Cup
    • Confirmed goalie edge: Ilya Sorokin is 0.940 SV%, 0.946 even-strength SV%, and 5-for-5 in quality starts; Lukas Dostal is 0.881/0.896 with 3 quality starts in 6 starts.
    • Combined 5-on-5 possession proxy favors NYI: 0.510 SAT/USAT average versus Anaheim's 0.497; this avoids counting Corsi and Fenwick as separate votes.
    • The Islanders are without Mathew Barzal, Matias Maccelli, and Alexander Romanov; Anaheim is without Troy Terry, so lineup effects are not one-sided.
    Cohort Check
    • Own price 62.2%; NYI 3.00 GF/2.25 GA over 8 games versus ANA 3.00/3.25.
    • Confirmed goalie edge: Ilya Sorokin .9398 save percentage versus Lukas Dostal .8816 this season.
    • Anaheim still averages 3.00 goals per game, so the Ducks can overcome the goalie gap with finishing.
