    Why it likes it
    • Combined shots against are 59.2 per game; combined goals against average 7.41 across 10 LA and 11 Chicago games.
    • Expected Forsberg (.894 save%, three starts) and Knight (.891, eight starts) offer little measured suppression evidence.
    • Novig fee is 6% only in-play; this pregame quote is fee-free. Quarter-Kelly is informational, not an automatic stake.
    • The same-line reference advantage is just 0.13 percentage points; it is not an independent forecast and can vanish with a price move.
