2 modelsDog Cushion, Fair DogWhy 2 models like it
Dog Cushion- Model fair for VAN +2.5 is 71.2c: Carolina by 3+ baseline is 29% at this goal-gap tier.
- Trailing-25 goal-difference gap is 2.00: Carolina +1.04 per game versus Vancouver -0.96.
- VAN +2.5 loses if Carolina wins by three or more; the 29% blowout baseline is only a reference rate.
Fair Dog- Sharp CAR moneyline devigs to 74.9%; with the 6.5 total, the margin model estimates CAR wins by 3+ about 37%.
- FanDuel's -146 and DraftKings' -155 are no cheaper than the 0.59 exchange price; this is the better dog rung.
- The 63% projection only clears the four-cent gate narrowly; modest distribution changes erase the edge.

Empty Net LedgerUp 41% last 7 daysWhy it likes it
- 6.84 projected total, including a +0.21 empty-net adjustment.
- Carolina projects as the favorite by 0.77 goals after hard-shrinking four-game rates toward 2025.
- Pinnacle's live total is 6.5, satisfying the 6.0-or-higher sharp-total gate.

Square FrameUp 3% last 7 daysWhy it likes it
- Spread pair implies 25.0% first-period tie mass: 1.00 minus Vancouver outright 25c and Carolina outright 50c.
- That is 9.1 percentage points below the 34.1% first-period tie baseline, clearing the six-point trigger.
- First-period 0.5-goal total quotes 15c for under, so the implied tie mass comfortably exceeds the approximately 17% zero-goal check.
- The 34.1% tie rate is a broad historical baseline, not a matchup-specific estimate.
- Vancouver Canucks +1.5−100%Lost

Overtime TaxDown 31% last 7 daysWhy it likes it
- The strongest-favorite base rate gives about 43% for Carolina to win by 2+; that makes Canucks +1.5 about 57% fair.
- Last-season form gap was 2.0 goals per game, clearing the brief’s strongest-side screen, while the puck-line price remains materially cheaper than fair.
- A Carolina win by 2+ is the exact losing path, and the base-rate estimate is not team-specific.
- Vancouver Canucks puck line +2.5−100%Lost

Morning PuckDown 21% last 7 daysWhy it likes it
- Poisson model with four-game rates shrunk toward the league mean makes Vancouver +2.5 roughly 68%.
- Current team rates: Vancouver 4.75 GF and 4.50 GA per game; Carolina 2.75 GF and 3.00 GA.
- Goalies are not confirmed before Carolina's 10:30 AM morning skate; Kochetkov and Lankinen are only projected.

- Carolina leads the SOG fallback 30.5 to 22.8 per game, a 7.8-shot gap.
- Special-teams index favors Carolina 108.5% to Vancouver 91.8%, a 16.7-point advantage.

First Frame SumDown 35% last 7 daysWhy it likes it
- Current-season team rates imply 7.5 combined goals/game: CAR 2.75 GF/3.00 GA, VAN 4.75 GF/4.50 GA.
- Nesting that rate with the 1.76/2.06/2.14 period baselines plus 0.2 yields first-period λ≈2.14.
- The team-rate sample is only four regular-season games per side, with Vancouver's 4.75 GF rate especially volatile.
