⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment leans heavily toward the Blues as home favorites, aligning with money distribution and stable lines, suggesting no sharp contrarian action—following the public here matches the math from simulation and metrics like Blues’ home xGF advantage. Canucks injuries to Quinn Hughes and Conor Garland weaken their offense, reducing high-danger chances and supporting a lower-scoring affair. Overall, expect a tight, defensive battle under the total, with Blues holding the edge but unlikely to blowout.
