Game Analysis

VAN without Demko (IR) and multiple D injuries forces backup goalie into VGK's high-danger attack, but +1.5 covers in 68% model sims as market overprices VGK blowout (72% win prob vs 77.5% implied). Total projects 5.8 goals with depleted Vancouver crease suppressing scoring. Props lean Eichel/Pettersson overs on usage bumps; model 47% NHL hit rate warrants small units.
