Data Extraction
Using the NHL API, game data is extracted and structured by date, providing up-to-date information ranging from player biographical details to shot-level data.
Data Modeling
Dimension tables are structured and modeled within Power BI to support exploratory data analysis (EDA) and deliver both team- and player-level insights.
Predictive Models
Machine learning models generate probabilistic predictions of individual player performance, with additional validation through distribution-based checks.
Parlay Combinations
After identifying top player selections, 2- and 3-leg parlay combinations are constructed based on odds to target double- and triple-return outcomes.
Meet the Model
At Top Shelf Analytics, data isn’t just collected—it’s transformed into actionable insight. Built on a foundation of sports analytics and data science, the platform is designed to deliver clear, data-driven perspectives on NHL player performance and game dynamics. From structured data extraction to predictive modeling, every step is engineered for accuracy, consistency, and real-world application.
With a focus on transparency and performance, Top Shelf Analytics combines statistical modeling with practical outputs to support smarter decision-making. Whether analyzing player trends or generating optimized combinations, the goal is simple: turn complex data into meaningful, reliable insights.
What people are saying
“Top Shelf Analytics has completely changed how I approach NHL player props. The insights are clear, data-driven, and actually actionable. It’s not just numbers—it’s a system that consistently highlights real opportunities.”
Tom S.
“The combination of structured data and predictive modeling is a game-changer. I’ve gone from guessing to making informed decisions, and the difference in confidence is night and day.”
Mike A.
“What sets Top Shelf Analytics apart is the transparency and consistency. The models are easy to understand, and the outputs are practical. It’s become a go-to tool for evaluating player performance and identifying strong combinations.”
Dan S.
Smarter Parlays, Backed by Data
Each parlay combination is built using machine learning–driven probabilities, comparing model projections against sportsbook odds to identify value.
By combining model-based probabilities with market odds, we highlight opportunities with positive expected value and strong win probability.
Expected Value (EV) reflects long-term profitability, while Win Probability represents the likelihood of success—resulting in data-backed parlays designed to outperform intuition.
While this example focuses on shots on goal, the same approach applies to goals, assists, blocked shots, and more.
