Negligible edge (+0.05pp) due to market efficiency. Injuries net +6.3% but already priced into 54.9% implied probability.

Line: 6.0
Canucks missing starting goalie Demko (+12.6% injury impact) could inflate goals; opponent also missing top forward. Slight push toward over but no edge.
Game Analysis
Flames hold a net injury advantage of +6.3% with Demko out for Vancouver, while Huberdeau's IR stint for Calgary is less impactful. The Bayesian posterior puts Flames at 54-55% win probability, but the spread (-0.5) offers a 5.5% expected return vs market implied cover rate of 52.4%. Model history vs Canucks (21-10) adds confidence. The primary play is the spread; moneyline and total carry negligible or negative EV.
