Game Analysis
Two injury-riddled teams (Larkin, Fantilli OUT) face off with no reliable market data. Bayesian fusion sees a 51.5% edge for Detroit on the moneyline, but that's essentially zero once adjusted for juice. Whale signals ($30.9k on Columbus) contradict this slight lean. Spread and total both carry negative EV due to standard -110 juice at low win probabilities. With model calibration showing 44.5% NHL record and 11/23 signals missing, this is a low-confidence pass spot. The only play with barely positive EV is the Detroit moneyline at 0.1 per $100 – not actionable.
