Hockey results Sunday 27 September 2026: AI predictions review
Sunday's hockey results: AI models called 13 of 20 correctly. NHL upsets, DEL near-misses, and the biggest surprises reviewed.
Sunday 27 September 2026 produced a mixed afternoon for the ten-model consensus, which finished with 13 of 20 correct across the DEL, Extraliga, KHL, Liiga, National League and NHL. The headline record reflects a slate where heavy favourites largely delivered, but four of the seven misses came from unanimous or near-unanimous picks.
The biggest surprise arrived in the NHL, where Vegas Golden Knights were backed by 100% of models to beat San Jose Sharks. The Sharks left with a 4–2 win, making it the most confident miss of the day at an average 71% confidence. Elsewhere, Munchen and Biel also fell despite unanimous support.
The ice tells the story after a busy Sunday slate.
Where the AI got it right
Eisbaren Berlin vs Iserlohn Roosters prediction: A clean 4–0 win for Eisbaren Berlin. All ten models backed the home side, with the most common scoreline 4–3 and average confidence 62%. The actual score was tighter than the 4–0 suggests, but the consensus was never in doubt.
Nurnberg Ice Tigers vs Straubing Tigers prediction: Straubing Tigers won 3–2 on the road, matching the most common predicted score exactly. All ten models picked Straubing at 64% average confidence, one of the highest of the day.
Kometa Brno vs Pardubice prediction: Pardubice delivered a 5–3 away win, with all ten models on board at 67% average confidence. The most common score was 2–4, but the winner was correctly identified.
Barys Astana vs SKA St. Petersburg prediction: SKA St. Petersburg won 5–3, matching the most common predicted score of 4–5. All ten models backed SKA at 74% average confidence, the highest of any correct call on the day.

Where it got it wrong
