Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Kirill Kaprizov / Over Shots on Goal / 3.5 at -120 / 68% / Kaprizov’s season average 4.1 SOG vs Bruins’ weak penalty kill supports over in high-usage role.

Player Prop #2: David Pastrnak / Over Points / 0.5 at -115 / 62% / Pastrnak’s 1.2 points per game and Bruins’ power play edge make this likely despite defensive injuries.

Player Prop #3: Marc-Andre Fleury / Under Saves / 27.5 at -110 / 55% / Fleury faces lower shot volume from Bruins’ adjusted offense due to injuries, aligning with under based on recent starts.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment leans toward the Wild but aligns with sharp money on the home favorite, making a follow strategy optimal given the EV edge from line stability and metrics. Bruins’ injuries to McAvoy and Arvidsson weaken their defense, tilting the matchup toward Minnesota without strong fade justification. Overall scoring outlook points to a moderate total around 5.6 goals, driven by Wild’s offensive efficiency but tempered by goaltending.
