⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment favors Toronto due to star power and rivalry hype, but sharp money and line stability point toward Detroit, creating a contrarian opportunity on the Wings. With Nylander’s potential absence weakening Toronto’s offense, the game outlook leans toward a moderate-scoring affair, though flipped total logic favors the over. Fade the public here for mathematical value.
