Game Analysis
With Ovechkin and Thomas out for Washington, the Capitals' offense takes a massive hit. Boston also missing McAvoy, but the net injury impact favors the Bruins. The market still has Caps as slight favorites, but our model sees this as a pick'em. Bruins +1.5 offers strong cover probability, and the moneyline at +120 provides positive EV. Total under 5.5 is supported by reduced scoring firepower on both sides.
