Methodology & Data Sources
Last updated
Every head-to-head record on SharkBetting is computed from scored game logs. The NHL archive covers available regular-season and playoff results from 1917 onward, while recent scores are refreshed from the official NHL data service. Franchise identity is checked against official NHL records. All-time records, recent form, playoff splits, margins, streaks, decades, and seasons are calculated from the same listed results. Ties remain separate, and records without a final score are excluded from decided-game statistics.
