⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors the Wild on spread and moneyline, with slight money divergence signaling potential sharp interest in Hawks side or total; however, metrics like Wild’s stronger xGF (est. 3.1/60) vs. Hawks’ 2.6/60 and home-ice edge justify following public where EV aligns. Game projects low-to-mid scoring (avg 5.7 goals) due to solid defensive Corsi for both but flipped Under recommendation per NHL model performance. No significant RLM or injury disruptions noted from available data.
