FULL ANALYSIS
DraftKings -1.5 -180 implies 64% TB cover but Pinnacle fair 36.8% + extreme $274K whales/PM divergence (Kalshi 47% MTL) scream value on Canadiens +1.5; Hedman IR tanks TB lambda 15.7% vs MTL 6.3%. ML breakeven no edge, totals weak (47.5% fair under). Unvalidated props capped 60.
SHARP MONEY
Pinnacle de-vigged spread fair value 63.2% away cover vs DraftKings 40% implied (+EV); extreme whale volume ($274K, 25 wallets) on away overrides weak ML sharp signal.
Recommended Sizing
