Game Analysis
Ottawa is decimated by injuries — Foegele, Zub, and Spence out, Pinto and Donovan questionable. Montreal only missing Guhle. Our injury-adjusted model gives Montreal a 68% win probability, but the prediction market has them at 99% — that's a massive overreaction. We take Montreal ML at -185 (generated) for +4.75 EV, and the under 5.5 at -110 as the total projects to 4.95 goals. Spread -1.5 at +105 offers thin edge. Player props on Giroux and Hutson points are low-confidence but positive EV.
