CONFIRMED GOALIES

KEY ABSENCES
GAME SCRIPT
The 10-game figures include the end of last season. Both goalies are below a .900 save percentage: Devon Levi at .888, and Brandon Bussi, a probable starter, at .881. At 5-on-5, Carolina leads with 59.7% of shot attempts against 48.0% for Edmonton, and expected goals of 3.94 to 2.86. Edmonton is nonetheless scoring 4.30 goals per game, above its expected goals: that output could reverse, or hold if Bussi falters.
OUR ANALYSIS
MONEYLINE: No moneyline pick. Our model gives the Carolina Hurricanes a 59.6% chance, while the 1.850 odds imply 54.1%. The numbers support the model, with shot share and expected goals favoring Carolina, but the price doesn't pay off that scenario under our publishing criteria.
TOTALS: Our model leans Under 6.5, with a projection of 6.02 goals, or 0.48 goals below the line. The price doesn't pay off that scenario. Carolina's actual goals (3.60) and those of its opponents (2.40 allowed) remain modest, but Edmonton is scoring 4.30 goals per game.
Two goalies below a .900 save percentage and Edmonton's 4.30 goals per game point to an open game that could go over 6.5. That reading carries even more weight since we are not playing this game. If Bussi, a probable but unconfirmed starter, did not start, the balance could shift.
We are not playing this game: neither the moneyline nor the total gets a pick.
