Public bets and money align heavily on Islanders ML (57%/62%), but spread money skews to Blues +1.5 (56% vs 51% bets), signaling sharp resistance to road favorite. Blues recent 4-win streak and home edge (48% sim win) counter poor season record, favoring cover. Overall low-scoring outlook with avg 5.8 goals but defensive metrics and NHL flip supporting Under.
