💰 Best Bet #2 [Under / Total / 6.5 at -110 / 60% / Despite average goals simulation at 6.2, historical NHL trends and Devils’ defensive metrics favor a lower-scoring affair, flipping the over probability for value.]
💰 Best Bet #3 [Toronto Maple Leafs / Moneyline / -140 / 58% / Maple Leafs hold a clear edge in win probability from simulations, bolstered by superior xGF and home performance this season.]

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment leans toward Toronto with aligned sharp money, supporting a follow on the home favorite rather than fading, as EV calculations confirm positive edges without significant RLM signals. Devils’ injury issues, including potential absences for Jack Hughes and others, weaken their road outlook against Toronto’s offensive metrics. Overall game scoring tilts toward under based on flipped simulation probabilities and recent under trends in Devils matchups versus strong defenses.
