⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment leans Chicago but money distribution shows slight divergence, aligning with simulation’s tight win probability where sharp action often favors road dogs in low-volume NHL spots. Fade elements present via low -1.5 cover rate; follow math on spread value. Game projects low-scoring at 5.5 average goals based on recent preseason form and defensive metrics.

🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on Columbus Blue Jackets +1.5 — Highest EV from sim convergence and puck-line probabilities.
