💹 Market Alignment
Aligned

📉 Line Movement
Puckline moved from Avs -1.7 to -1.5; ML tightened from -170 to -185 despite heavy public action on home side, indicating sharp reinforcement.

💡 Mathematical Edge (EV)
+3.2% on Avalanche puckline; convergence of home dominance (xGF/60 edge), public/sharp alignment, and sim cover rate exceeds implied odds probability.

Top 3 Player Props
Player Prop #1: Nathan MacKinnon / Over 1.5 Points / -120 / 70% / Leads Avs in scoring (1.4 pts/gp current season), exploits Canucks weak PK (78% kill rate), high usage vs road foes.
Player Prop #2: Cale Makar / Over 0.5 Points / -150 / 75% / Top defenseman producer (0.9 pts/gp), benefits from Avs home power play (25% success), Canucks allow 12 high-danger chances/gp.
Player Prop #3: Quinn Hughes / Over 2.5 Shots / -110 / 65% / Averages 3.1 SOG/gp, faces Avs but volume holds in tough matchups; recent form 3+ in 4/5 road games.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors the Avalanche, aligning with money distribution and line movement toward the home favorite, making a follow-public approach optimal amid Avs’ elite home metrics (Corsi 55%+, save % .915). Sharp action reinforces via RLM despite volume. Game projects moderately high-scoring but flipped Under due to NHL regression on overs; defensive xGA favors limited explosion.

🔮 Recommended Play
Follow the public with Colorado Avalanche — highest probability backed by sim, market consensus, and current-season home dominance.
