⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors the Stars puckline (+1.5 at 75%) and Over (82%), but sharp money (58% on Devils -1.5) signals professional resistance amid divergent market action. Fade the public aligns with math due to Devils’ superior home defensive metrics (xGA/60 2.70) versus Stars’ road vulnerabilities and lingering injury effects on key forwards. Game projects moderate scoring (avg 5.72 goals), favoring Under after flip adjustment.
