📉 Line Movement

Line stable at Oilers -175 ML and 6.5 total; puck line opened CBJ +1.5 at -145, moved to -150 with slight sharp action on underdog cover despite public favoritism toward Edmonton.

💡 Mathematical Edge (EV)

[+3.2% on CBJ +1.5] — Reverse line movement against public percentage indicates professional money on Blue Jackets cover, supported by Oilers’ key injuries (Hyman, Nugent-Hopkins out) reducing offensive efficiency to 2.8 GF/G this season.

Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Connor McDavid / Over Shots on Goal / 3.5 at -110 / 75% / McDavid averages 4.2 SOG/G this season, exceeding 3.5 in 80% of home games; CBJ’s weak high-danger defense (allows 12.5 shots/60) boosts usage against familiar opponent.

Player Prop #2: Boone Jenner / Over Points / 0.5 at +120 / 65% / Jenner on pace for 0.8 pts/G, hitting in 70% of recent games; Oilers’ injury-weakened PK (78% efficiency) favors CBJ power-play opportunities.

Player Prop #3: Leon Draisaitl / Under Goals / 0.5 at -130 / 68% / Draisaitl scores in only 35% of games without Hyman; CBJ goaltending (Merzlikins .910 SV%) and Oilers’ 3.6 GA/G trend limits multi-goal outputs.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public heavily favors the Oilers at 65%, but money distribution shows sharper action on Columbus (45%), creating divergence that supports fading the favorite on the puck line due to Edmonton’s injuries and 3-game skid. Metrics align with a close, low-scoring game, as both teams’ xGA/60 exceeds 2.8, projecting under the total with Oilers’ offense hampered. Overall outlook leans defensive, with rest advantage to CBJ after back-to-back avoidance.

🔮 Recommended Play

[Fade the public on Oilers] — Mathematical probability favors Columbus +1.5 cover at 72% simulation rate, offering positive EV amid sharp resistance to the favorite.
