⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors Toronto at home, aligning with money distribution, but sharp indicators from line stability suggest value in fading the public on Florida’s resilient road play. Both offenses are potent but defenses and goalies create a low-scoring outlook, with totals trending under in similar Atlantic Division clashes. Follow contrarian logic here as EV supports the underdog without invalidating metrics.

🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on Florida Panthers — mathematical probability favors their upset potential based on advanced stats and market inefficiencies.
