⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors the Devils, but divergent money distribution suggests sharp resistance to the favorite, creating a follow-public opportunity backed by sim edges. No major RLM contradicts this, and contextual factors like Devils’ home dominance outweigh Kraken’s recent scoring uptick. Overall game scoring outlook points to a moderate total, with both teams’ defensive metrics projecting under 6 goals despite offensive flashes.
