Game Analysis
Dallas holds slim edge with fewer key absences (Hintz hurts but Robertson/Johnston healthy) vs Avs missing Makar/Roy; model projects Stars 3.1-2.7 (-118 ML, -0.5 PKL, 5.8 total). Injuries cap scoring (under 5.5) but create prop value on MacKinnon overs. Calibrated down from historical 43% NHL model hit rate.
