Game Analysis
Carolina projects as the rightful favorite — Islanders are missing Barzal, Pulock, Romanov, and Maccelli (-25% home injury lambda vs -18.9% away) and Kalshi prices them at just 36.5%. But there is no book price to bet into, the calibrated edge is exactly zero, and the NHL engine is PAUSED at -13.9% ROI with last-7-day NHL going 0-2. No playable edge exists here; passing is the correct sharp action.
