💰 Best Bet #2 [Under / Total / 6.5 at -110 / 60% / Flipped from simulation’s 55% over probability due to historical NHL prediction adjustments; both teams’ recent games average under 6.2 goals with strong penalty kills limiting high-danger chances.]
💰 Best Bet #3 [Detroit Red Wings / Moneyline / -115 / 52% / Slight home-ice edge in simulation with 52% win probability, supported by better xGF in current season matchups against Pacific division foes.]
