Top 3 Player Props
Player Prop #1: Cole Caufield / Over 2.5 Shots on Goal / -120 / 75% / Averages 3.4 SOG/game vs Jets-type defenses allowing top-10 shots to wingers, high usage with Hutson
Player Prop #2: Nick Suzuki / Over 0.5 Points / -115 / 70% / 0.9 pts/game pace, PP1 role vs Jets PK 22nd (78%), recent 8/10 multi-pt
Player Prop #3: Kyle Connor / Over 2.5 Shots on Goal / -130 / 72% / 3.2 SOG avg even sans Hellebuyck, MTL allows 32 shots/G to forwards

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public leans Jets but money % nears split with slight RLM to Canadiens, signaling sharp resistance amid Jets’ 5 losses/6 and goalie injury boosting MTL edge. Fade public optimal as sims favor home cover/ML value without full alignment. Game projects low-mid scoring (avg 5.9 goals) but flipped Over exploits backup goalie mismatch.

🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on Jets — sims and injuries confirm Canadiens probability despite market tilt.
