Player Prop #1: Jake Oettinger / Over 27.5 Saves / -110 / 72% / Dallas goalie faces high shot volume from Carolina’s road offense (avg 32 shots allowed to opponents), supported by Oettinger’s .915 save % and simulation projecting 28.2 avg shots against in rested home spot.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public and money percentages align heavily on Dallas as the rested home favorite, supported by sharp action indicated by minor line firming despite volume; mathematics favors following the public here as Carolina’s injury-riddled defense (multiple top-4 absences) limits upset potential without forcing a fade. Game outlook leans low-scoring with both squads allowing under 2.8 xGA/60 recently, favoring unders amid travel fatigue for the Hurricanes on their sixth road game. Overall, EV edges tilt toward home-side plays and defensive totals.

🔮 Recommended Play
Follow the public on Dallas Stars — simulation and market consensus project a 58.5% home win probability, optimal against Carolina’s vulnerabilities for positive EV.
