Game Analysis
No sportsbook odds available, so we use Kalshi prediction market (46.5% home) as proxy. The Bayesian fusion model, combining Poisson scoring and ELO, gives Vegas a 66.8% win probability — a +20.3pp edge. Injuries compound the advantage: Sharks are missing 5 players (-25% impact) while Golden Knights are relatively healthy (-9.4%). The Monte Carlo simulation projects a 4.0-1.0 scoreline with 55.5% over probability at 4.5. However, model agreement is low on spread (8.4% variance) and data quality is degraded, so confidence is tempered. The moneyline at +115 (Kalshi) offers the clearest edge; the over 4.5 is a secondary lean. Spread -3.0 shows negative EV and is a pass.
