Game Analysis
Omega model pegs Devils 70% win prob (-236 ML, PK spread, 19 total) with Montreal gutted by Carrier/Dach/Texier/Laine outs vs NJ's Hischier/Hughes/Bratt trio. ELO sees Devils -1.6 but Poisson even at 9.6-9.6; injuries create edge despite no market lines. Model 44% in NHL (N=168) but strong ML tier hits 57.6%—fade Habs at distance.
