Ω Bottom Line
Take UNDER 6.5 (0.5u) — sharp money 3.5% toward the under with RLM confirmation; skip Colorado -130 as breakeven (56.5%) outpaces the model's 52.4% posterior.

Game Analysis
Colorado's injury toll (Manson out, L'Heureux IR) reads as -15.8% to the away side, yet calibrated still puts Colorado at 62.8% — team strength (0.65 weight) and the scoring model both agree the Avs outclass Columbus, with scoring model expecting 4.4-2.5. simulation runs 72.5% away win at 95% CI [-8,+3], and $25.8K of STRONG-tier whale volume is 77% on Colorado. That said, NHL is paused (ROI -13.9%), model agreement is LOW, and no book price exists at all — this is a model-only projection, nothing more than a 0.5u-tracking Lean that only becomes actionable if a market line emerges near fair value.
