⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public and money both lean Florida on the puck line and moneyline while under receives the heaviest money percentage. Simulation confirms Florida’s slight win and strong cover probability alongside a sub-5.5 total projection. Ottawa’s lower scoring output and Florida’s defensive stability point to a controlled, lower-event game. Fade none; follow the money-backed Florida side and under.
