⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public betting (54%) and money distribution (59%) both favor Vegas Golden Knights on the moneyline in an aligned market, consistent with sim win probability of 52% and recent form showing Kings at 3-4 in last 7 with -0.4 avg margin. Sharp action implied by money % edge supports following Vegas, though puck-line value on Vegas +1.5 offers contrarian EV due to low blowout projection from tight CI and avg 5.4 goals. Overall game scoring outlook leans low (under-favored in sim at 55%) based on defensive metrics and Kings home splits, favoring disciplined play on totals.
