⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public heavily favors Penguins on spread (78%) but sharp money flows to Flyers (64%), creating divergent alignment with RLM tightening home ML—optimal to fade public and follow pros. Penguins’ injury list (Rakell out 6 weeks, Acciari 3 weeks, Brazeau 4 weeks) hampers offense, tilting edge to PHI. Game projects low-to-mid scoring (avg 5.6 goals), favoring Under after NHL adjustment.
