⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public heavily backs Bruins on spread (61% bets) with money alignment (66%), but diverges on ML where both public (54%) and sharp money (59%) fade the heavy favorite toward Wild. Simulations confirm modest Bruins edge on spread cover but value on Wild ML given pricing disconnect and Wild’s elite GA (2.7). Overall low-scoring outlook from mutual defensive strengths (combined GA 5.6/game) and recent form totals under 6.1 avg, though NHL flip targets Over variance.

🔮 Recommended Play
Follow the sharp money on Minnesota Wild — highest EV from money % disparity and sim-implied probabilities.
