MONEYLINE
New Jersey Devils
None
None — -185 requires 64.9% and the posterior is exactly 64.9% (+0.0pp edge); flagged as the least-bad side only because Devils are healthier (Blues missing Mailloux, Krug, Dube, Tucker = -25% impact vs NJ -6.3%).
Ω Bottom Line
Zero-edge game: Devils -185 prices exactly at the 64.9% model posterior and every spread/total side is -EV after juice — no bet.
Game Analysis
Model line says Devils -0.5 with a 3.4-2.9 expected score, but the calibrated (59.6%) actually trails the market (61.0%), and simulation flips the script — Blues cover the road half-point 54.7%. Blues lose Colton Parayko and Logan Mailloux on the blue line (-25% impact), which favors New Jersey, but there's no book price anywhere and NHL pick generation is PAUSED after a -13.9% ROI stretch. Whale wallets ($30K, 92% home) aren't enough to override the freeze.
