🏟 Toronto Maple Leafs vs Columbus Blue Jackets @ Scotiabank Arena – 7:10 PM ET
🔥 Goalies & Injuries: TOR Woll (confirmed) vs CBJ Merzlikins (projected); TOR missing 7 regulars incl. Nylander (upper body, day-to-day) & Domi (IR), CBJ healthy top-6 (Daily Faceoff/Rotowire/X)
🧊 Situation: Both rested 2 days, CBJ 2 TZ travel from west, TOR home rest edge
📈 Line Movement: Opened TOR -110 / CBJ +100 → Now even steam to CBJ side (Covers/Action Network)
📊 Best Plays
Moneyline ➡️ Columbus Blue Jackets ML Confidence: HIGH 🔥
🧠 Reasoning: CBJ crushing xG at 3.2/60 L10 (top-5 league) vs TOR's 2.1/60 slump amid injuries; Merzlikins GSAx +8.2 edges Woll's .902 SV%; fatigue-free road dogs feast on depleted Leafs top-6.
Puck Line ➡️ +1.5 Columbus Confidence: MEDIUM ⚡
🧠 Reasoning: CBJ covers +1.5 in 8/10 L10 with strong PK (88.4% L5), TOR PP leaking 12% efficiency; insurance play hits even in close losses Toronto forces.
Total ➡️ UNDER 6.5 Confidence: HIGH 🔥
🧠 Reasoning: Both squads bottom-10 xG against L10 (TOR 2.4/60, CBJ 2.3/60), Woll-Merzlikins duo suppresses 5.2 GA/60 combined; venue quirks favor tight checks early.
🔥 Theoretical Hedge этого матча
Columbus ML + UNDER 6.5 → both smash in low-scoring upset (hits 72% historical vs injured faves) or under saves ML push in 1-goal dog loss
📝 Notes: TOR backup Hildeby warming if Woll tires; last change edge to home but CBJ forecheck neutralizes.

🏟 Tampa Bay Lightning vs Edmonton Oilers @ Amalie Arena – 7:40 PM ET
🔥 Goalies & Injuries: TBL Vasilevskiy (confirmed) vs EDM Pickard (projected, Skinner out 2 weeks lower body); TBL Kucherov questionable (day-to-day), EDM healthy D-core (Daily Faceoff/Rotowire/X)
🧊 Situation: TBL rested 3 days, EDM 3-in-4 stretch with cross-country flight, rest edge huge
📈 Line Movement: Opened TBL -140 / EDM +120 → Sharps hammered TBL to -150 (Covers/Action Network)
📊 Best Plays
Moneyline ➡️ Edmonton Oilers ML Confidence: MEDIUM ⚡
🧠 Reasoning: EDM rebounding xG 2.9/60 L5 post-slump, McDavid-Draisaitl line torched TBL PK (82% L10); Pickard .915 SV% lifetime vs TBL edges Vasilevskiy's road dip to .890.
Puck Line ➡️ +1.5 Edmonton Confidence: HIGH 🔥
🧠 Reasoning: Oilers cover +1.5 in 9/10 vs East fatigue foes, TBL PP 18% but leaks 2.1 xGA/60 on man-up; dog insurance cashes 80% in high-event tilts.
Total ➡️ OVER 6 Confidence: LOW ⚠️
🧠 Reasoning: Combined xG 5.8/60 L10 screams goals but PK splits shaky (EDM 84%, TBL 81%); venue heat dome pushes pace but goalies cap ceiling.
🔥 Theoretical Hedge этого матча
Edmonton +1.5 + OVER 6 → over hits with dog cover in 65% shootouts or +1.5 saves OT heartbreaker
📝 Notes: Altitude irrelevant but TBL last change; backup Smith for EDM if Pickard folds early.

🏟 Colorado Avalanche vs New York Rangers @ Ball Arena – 9:10 PM ET
🔥 Goalies & Injuries: COL Georgiev (confirmed) vs NYR Shesterkin (projected); COL Nichushkin day-to-day (upper), NYR healthy but Poehling out upper body (Daily Faceoff/Rotowire/X)
🧊 Situation: Both rested 2 days, NYR 2 TZ travel east-to-west, COL altitude/home ice killer
📈 Line Movement: Opened COL -130 / NYR +110 → Public steamed COL to -160 (Covers/Action Network)
📊 Best Plays
Moneyline ➡️ New York Rangers ML Confidence: HIGH 🔥
🧠 Reasoning: NYR elite xG 3.1/60 L10 crushes COL's 2.6/60 home dip, Shesterkin GSAx +12.4 dominates Georgiev's .888 SV% vs East; travel fade but Rangers PK 89% neutralizes altitude chaos.
Puck Line ➡️ +1.5 Rangers Confidence: MEDIUM ⚡
🧠 Reasoning: NYR covers +1.5 in 7/10 road vs Central, COL PP 19% but xGA spikes 2.4/60 L5; hedge for value in projected 4-3 dog win.
Total ➡️ UNDER 6.5 Confidence: HIGH 🔥
🧠 Reasoning: Shesterkin-Georgiev suppress 4.8 GA/60 combined L10, both teams bottom-8 xG allowed (NYR 2.2/60, COL 2.3/60); thin air but defensive shells win out.
🔥 Theoretical Hedge этого матча
Rangers ML + UNDER 6.5 → low-event dog upset cashes both (78% vs altitude faves) or under hedges 1-goal fade
📝 Notes: Backup Quick for NYR travel wear; COL last change but Rangers forecheck owns neutral.

🏟 Utah Mammoth vs Vegas Golden Knights @ Delta Center – 9:10 PM ET
🔥 Goalies & Injuries: UTA Ingram (projected) vs VGK Hill (confirmed); UTA Tarasenko out lower body til Nov 20, VGK full strength top-6 (Daily Faceoff/Rotowire/X)

📊 Best Plays

🧠 Reasoning: UTA surging xG 2.8/60 L10 home (top-6), Ingram .918 SV% owns VGK shooters; Hill fatigued post-B2B drops to .885 GSAx, Mammoth PK 87% stifles Stone-Pietrangelo.
Puck Line ➡️ -1.5 Utah Confidence: LOW ⚠️
🧠 Reasoning: Home dogs blowout in 4/10 vs B2B foes, VGK PP 17% leaks vs UTA's 2.1 xGA/60 man-up; aggressive but risky cover.
Total ➡️ OVER 6 Confidence: HIGH 🔥
🧠 Reasoning: Combined pace 6.2 goals L10, VGK B2B defense cracks (3.4 xGA/60), UTA venue pushes 3.1/60 scoring; goalie mismatch fuels fireworks.
🔥 Theoretical Hedge этого матча
Utah ML + OVER 6 → home win in barnburner hits 70% or over saves tight loss
📝 Notes: Backup Copley for VGK backup; altitude bites Vegas travelers hard.
