Oilers missing Draisaitl (elite center, 30%+ usage equivalent)
Tampa depth players out but core Kucherov/McDavid matchup intact
NHL home ice small (1.02 HCA) - cross-conference neutralizes
+3.6 EV on Tampa ML at estimated +120 fair line. Edge from Oilers' injury depletion.
FULL ANALYSIS
Oilers gutted without Draisaitl - that's 115 points and top-line center gone, dropping their projection 25% vs Tampa's healthier core led by Kucherov (111 pts). McDavid carries but Tampa's road underdog spot + NHL variance favors +EV on Lightning ML at +120 est. Under 6.5 makes sense with depleted rosters suppressing scoring pace.
Kelly Sizing
1u
Reduced sizing. Edge exists but sample or signal strength is moderate.
