Movement No movement data available

+4.2 EV on Hurricanes ML at -218; edge from Devils' key D out (Pesce) + CAR home dominance

Model: 45.7% win rate | n=35 — Based on N=35 graded NHL outcomes; reduce confidence on CAR/NJD specifically

FULL ANALYSIS

Devils gutted w/ Pesce OUT + 3F IR, projects +0.28 GA/60 vs CAR's 2.61 team SV%. Hurricanes get 62% ML prob (5.4pt edge) despite -218 juice; model totals 5.8 w/ Devils thin attack. Aho OVER 1.5 pts hits 65% last 10, Devils D can't contain top line.

SHARP MONEY

No RLM/steam data; heavy public juice on CAR but Devils injuries support home side

Recommended Sizing

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