Game Analysis
Wild missing starting goalie Gustavsson shifts the edge to Chicago, but the moneyline price (-115) offers minimal EV. The real value is on Wild +1.5 — even if Blackhawks win, NHL games are decided by one goal 32% of the time, giving the +1.5 a 60% cover rate. Total over 6.0 also gets a slight boost from the goalie downgrade, but confidence is capped by degraded data quality.
