Minnesota Wild
-1.5
Market Consensus fair value rates the home -1.5 cover at 71.3% vs the market's 70.3%, and the away +1.5 at +220 sits right at the equity line — the only NHL spread cell (CONFIRMED, 2.0% edge floor) slightly above fair.
Ω Bottom Line
Pass-positioned Wild +1.5 at +220 — the only NHL CONFIRMED cell near fair, while the -270 home ML and 6.5 under at -134 both ship negative EV with the model at 51.5% and NHL paused at -13.9% ROI.
Game Analysis
All three source markets return null odds, so no price can be validated and every pick ships as unit_size PASS. The only directional signal is whale money: $46,377 from 11 profitable Polymarket wallets, 86% on the Wild — STRONG tier — matching Kalshi's 52% away lean. But the injury model cuts the opposite way (home net +6.1% from injuries, both sides minus critical quality: Gustavsson, Faber, Spurgeon, Foligno out for Minnesota; Sandin, Desharnais for Washington), and NHL is under calibration pause with a 25% CLV beat rate. No edge clears the >4% threshold the override demands.
