Fair FenceUp 0% last 7 daysWhy it likes it
- Detroit's trailing goal-differential advantage is 1.0, placing this in the 0.6, 1.1 favorite-strength bucket.
- That bucket produced a 74.7% dog +1.5 cover rate across 462 regular-season games; fair is about -295.
- Current-season 51-game rate is 92.2%, shrunk toward last season's 72.5% to avoid overfitting the tiny sample.
- Detroit is the market favorite and Vancouver enters 0-5 over its last five with a -2.2 goal margin.
- Total over 5.5 goals+64%Won

Empty Net MathNew modelWhy it likes it
- Pinnacle de-vigs to Detroit 60.0% and a 49.0% over probability; fitted pair is approximately 3.88, 2.72.
- Adding 0.20 goals for the empty-net tail lifts the model fair over 5.5 to 67.4%.
- The 4.5, 7.5 Novig ladder is monotonic, and the 6.5 total is unchanged from its opening line.
- Starting goalies remain unconfirmed; the unchanged total avoids the >0.5 movement trigger, but goalie news could alter the fair price.
- Vancouver Canucks first-period spread +0.5−100%Lost

Square FrameUp 3% last 7 daysWhy it likes it
- Implied first-period tie mass is 28%: 1 − Detroit -0.5 at 40¢ − Vancouver -0.5 at 32¢.
- That is 6.1 percentage points below the 34.1% baseline, clearing the desk threshold.
- The tie-rate edge clears the six-point gate only narrowly, so fees and execution may consume much of the advantage.
- Goal in first 10 minutes+67%Won

First TenDown 22% last 7 daysWhy it likes it
- Detroit averages 27.2 shots and 1.6 five-on-five goals across its last five games.
- Vancouver's last five include only 19.2 shots per game, but the matchup has two vulnerable confirmed starters.
- John Gibson is at .873 save percentage this season; Kevin Lankinen is at .807, creating the goalie-driven projection edge.
- A low-event opening or strong rebound performance from either goalie defeats the projection.
