Game Analysis

Ottawa missing 4 D-men (Sanderson, Chabot, Gilbert, Jensen) creates chaos but home underdog +239 offers value vs Buffalo's 3 depth outs. Model dead-even at 9.6-9.6 (19.0 total) with 29.5% Ottawa win prob matching implied. Stutzle/Thompson props carry edge from usage bumps in depleted lineups.
