, ,

Against his share of what his opponents usually allowed defensemen, Quinn Hughes was 0.57 points over at home and 0.10 points under away in 2026-27, 5 games against 12. The plain averages are 1.60 and 1.17, a difference of 0.43. Both back-to-backs were away. Both games vs teams at .500 or under were away.

5 games at home is still too small a sample for the statistics to say much, but maybe you can find something if you squint.

points a game over expected

A +0.66 difference in points over expected at home vs away is a bit unusual: shuffle which games were at home and it comes up 16 times in 100.

A +0.43 difference in points at home vs away is about what you’d expect.

Method

  • Expected is what the opponent allowed defensemen in its other 2026-27 games, plus 0.00 for the home team (half the league’s home edge for defensemen that season), nothing at a neutral site, scaled to his share of his team’s defensemen’ points in his games, 56%.
  • Each expected number is then fit to the season’s games: a game bears out about 98% of the difference the model predicts.
  • The shuffle keeps the season’s shape: the games are cut into stretches, one a 15 games, where the dates leave the least variance, each game is read against its stretch, and the sides are shuffled only inside each stretch.
