Public heavily on Vegas ML with money alignment indicating consensus, while spread divergence shows public fading the favorite—simulation metrics favor following Vegas dominance without forcing contrarianism. Sharp action implied on home puckline given EV edge. Game outlook low-scoring (avg 6.0 total) due to both teams’ middling GF/GA (Vegas 3.1/3.1, Chicago 2.6/3.2) and recent trends, but flipped total per NHL protocol.
