Game Analysis

Omega Poisson/ELO mashup projects dead-even game (9.6-9.6) despite MTL -155 juice, giving NJD +10.4 EV ML at +130. MTL hammered by Dach/Laine/Carrier outs while NJD only misses depth; model total 19.0 screams over 6.5 vs market total bias. Devils Hischier/Hughes duo exploits gaps, Suzuki/Caufield carry Habs but not enough for pricing.
