📉 Line Movement
Puck line shifted from Canucks -1.5 (-120) to -1.5 (-140), indicating sharp action on Vancouver despite public lean; total steady at 6.5 with slight under movement.

Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Macklin Celebrini / Over Shots on Goal / 2.5 at -120 / 70% Confidence
Celebrini’s high usage rate (3.2 SOG/GP in current season) exploits Vancouver’s average penalty kill, with matchup favoring increased ice time at home.

Player Prop #2: Elias Pettersson / Over Points / 0.5 at -110 / 68% Confidence
Pettersson’s 1.2 points/GP against Pacific teams, combined with Canucks’ power play efficiency (22%), positions him well against Sharks’ weak defense.

Player Prop #3: William Eklund / Under Points / 0.5 at +100 / 72% Confidence
Eklund’s low production (0.4 points/GP) versus elite road defenses like Vancouver’s, plus limited top-line minutes, supports the under in a tight matchup.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors the Canucks, but divergent money distribution and reverse line movement suggest sharp resistance, making a fade on the favorite optimal for value. Both teams show defensive vulnerabilities, yet recent trends point to a controlled, lower-scoring affair below the total. Overall, the math supports contrarian plays on the spread and under.

🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on Canucks — Sharks offer better EV as home underdogs with supporting metrics.
