⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment leans heavily toward the Capitals on the moneyline, but divergent money distribution suggests sharp interest in Washington covering the puck line amid the Devils’ extensive injury list, including Jack Hughes (hand) and Dougie Hamilton (lower body). Following the public aligns with mathematical edges here, as recent form and xGF metrics favor a controlled, lower-scoring affair. Overall game outlook points to under 6 goals, with both teams’ defenses holding firm in divisional play.
