⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment aligns with sharp money on Vegas as the favorite, supported by their superior xGF metrics and recent road wins, making a follow strategy optimal for the moneyline while the spread offers contrarian value due to Wild’s home ice and Vegas absences. The game projects as moderately high-scoring, with both offenses capable of exploiting weakened defenses—Vegas’s high-danger chances push toward over, tempered by Wild’s goaltending edge. Overall, math favors Vegas outright but highlights spread protection for balanced betting.
