Game Analysis
Dallas is legitimately the better team, but the puck line has been mispriced relative to the injury report: the Stars are carrying a 25% team-impact IR list (Duchene headlining) versus 18.9% for the Blues. De-vig the -142/+120 puck line and you get 56.3% for Blues +1.5; add the injury delta and it jumps to 62.4%. That's +6.3 EV at -142. The ML at -205 is a coin flip against the vig and the total is a pass with no model. This is a small, sharp spread play — 0.5u.
