💡 Mathematical Edge (EV)
+2.5% on Oilers +1.5, driven by simulation cover rate and injury-adjusted metrics favoring close contest over blowout.

Top 3 Player Props
Player Prop #1: Connor McDavid / Over Shots on Goal / 2.5 at -175 / 78% / Leads NHL in shots per game at 3.8 average this season, exploits Avalanche’s high-danger vulnerabilities in 70% of recent outings.
Player Prop #2: Nathan MacKinnon / Over Shots on Goal / 3.5 at -125 / 65% / Averaging 4.2 SOG against Pacific teams, with Oilers defense allowing 32 shots per game; usage remains high post-injuries.
Player Prop #3: Cale Makar / Over Points / 0.5 at -165 / 72% / Contributes in 68% of games on PP1, facing Oilers’ middling PK (78% efficiency); historical 1.2 points per game vs. Edmonton.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors the Avalanche as road favorites, aligning with sharp money on the ML but showing divergence on the spread where pros back the Oilers +1.5 amid key injuries like Hyman’s absence for Edmonton and Girard’s for Colorado. Mathematical models confirm value in fading the public on the puck line due to balanced xGA rates (Avalanche 2.8, Oilers 2.9 per 60). Overall scoring outlook leans under with both teams’ defenses tightening in divisional play, projecting a gritty 3-2 type affair.

🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on Edmonton Oilers +1.5 — simulation and contextual edges point to high cover probability in a projected one-goal margin.
