The ability to put in that effort ahead of time is impacted significantly when a team is playing in a back-to-back set of games.
Overall road favorites have won by two or more goals in 40.93% of 1,439 games; when the home underdog is completing a back-to-back, it climbs to 50.56%.
In the past three seasons, the overall over/under results in games with a home underdog have gone over 47.12%...when that home underdog is playing for the second time in as many days, the over has hit 57.22%.
Remembering the premise of preparation being a key component to how NHL teams approach games, there is a trend concerning the second-leg of back-to-back games.
