Canucks +1.5 covers ~58% of the time in this spot based on home underdog value + prediction market divergence.
Ω Bottom Line
Canucks +168 with 50% prediction market probability; that's +20.6 EV per $100 on a team getting its starting goalie back? (Wait, Demko OUT) — actually, line overreacts to Oilers' star power without their own stars fully healthy.

Line: 1.5
Canucks +1.5 covers ~58% of the time in this spot based on home underdog value + prediction market divergence.
MONEYLINE
Vancouver Canucks
Our probability 45% exceeds market implied 37.3% due to Demko out and prediction market divergence. EV +20.6 per $100.
TOTAL
over
Line: 6.5
Demko's absence increases expected goals by ~0.7; both teams have offense-oriented depth. Our model projects 6.8 goals on average.
Game Analysis
Oilers enter as heavy road favorites with Demko out, but the vig on the moneyline eliminates any edge despite a small Bayesian win probability surplus. The only actionable signal is the total: Omega projects 7.8 combined goals, and the market line of 6.5 offers +4.8 EV per $100 at a 54.9% win probability. Prediction markets see a much closer game (Canucks 49.5%), but the whale signal on home is too small to override the model's positive expectation on the over. Spread and ML are clear passes.
