3 modelsBackup Tax, Cohort Check +1Why 3 models like it
Backup Tax- Johansson was confirmed at 8:15 AM PDT for his Senators debut, Ottawa’s third starting goalie in three games; Ullmark is out.
- Garand was confirmed at 8:37 AM PDT and has been New York’s current starter: 7 starts, 4-2-1, .915 save percentage.
- Johansson has 100 career starts and reportedly played well in Belleville; the backup downgrade could be overstated.
Cohort Check- Own goal-rate and confirmed-goaltender model makes Rangers 52%, versus 46.6% sharp-book devig.
- Rangers own the stronger early-season profile: 3.083 GF/game, 2.417 GA/game; Ottawa is 2.818/2.727.
- Johansson's current Ottawa sample is effectively unestablished in the warehouse; his prior-season .884 save rate may not represent tonight.
Morning Puck- Poisson model after first-month league-average shrink makes New York 52.5% to win; 48¢ implies 48%.
- Current Rangers scoring: 3.083 goals/game; Ottawa: 2.818, with New York’s 91.7% penalty kill versus Ottawa’s 78.1%.
- Pinnacle’s devigged moneyline makes Ottawa about a 53.4% favorite, directly opposing the model.

- Ottawa's blended expected attempts are 59.8 (58.0 recent attempts plus 61.6 Rangers allowed), approximately eighth of 32 teams.
- This is a projection, not a full scoring model; the early-season sample is only 11-12 games per team.

Square FrameUp 3% last 7 daysWhy it likes it
- Rangers +0.5 costs 66¢ while Rangers -0.5 costs 39¢, implying a 27% tie mass.
- The 27% implied tie rate is 7.1 points below the 34.1% first-period baseline.
- First-period total prices are monotone; 0.5-goal under is 13%, below and consistent with the tie baseline.
- The Ottawa-side pair implies a materially different tie rate, about 40%, so the ladder is internally noisy.
- Pavel Dorofeyev over 2.5 shots on goal+113%Won

role repricingDown 18% last 7 daysWhy it likes it
- 37 shots in 12 games (3.08 per game); he cleared 2.5 in 6 of his last 12.
- Expected 1st power-play unit on 10/24; 11 current-season power-play shots and 17.29 PP shots/60.
- Sykora and Tolvanen are out; the dated lineup assigns Dorofeyev to PP1, the specific responsibility this bet needs.
- Forward and PP deployment remains expected rather than confirmed; the current PP1 assignment may be continuation, not an injury-created promotion.

high-confidence main marketsDown 20% last 7 daysWhy it likes it
- 74% independent cover estimate versus 70.4% implied at -238; fair price about -285.

- Garand allowed 5 goals on 35 shots in his latest start, and Ottawa is at home.
