+4.2 EV on TB ML at -155; Ottawa's top-4 D decimated creates mismatch

Model: 45.9% win rate | n=37 — Based on N=37 graded NHL outcomes; 0-2 vs TB triggers caution

FULL ANALYSIS

Ottawa's D is obliterated (Chabot/Sanderson/Gilbert/Thomson/Jensen out = top-5 blueliners gone) handing TB 64.5% win prob despite Hedman out. Model Poisson: TB 3.9 goals, OTT 2.8 (total 6.7). Kucherov/Stutzle props crush vs depleted matchups; CLV projects TB ML to -165.

Recommended Sizing

Reduced sizing. Edge exists but sample or signal strength is moderate.
