⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment favors Carolina slightly on the moneyline, but divergent money distribution hints at sharp interest in the Kings as puck-line value, supported by low Carolina cover rate in sims. Follow contrarian logic on spread as EV confirms edge without strong alignment. Game projects moderate scoring around 6 goals, favoring flipped Under per NHL model adjustments despite recent high totals in preseason.

🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on Los Angeles Kings +1.5 — highest probability from sim and market divergence.
