    • St. Louis owns the small 5-on-5 possession edge: 50.8% Corsi and 48.5% Fenwick versus Boston's 48.1% and 47.9%.
    Brewing NHL Ml 2.0
    • Jeremy Swayman confirmed 9:57am by Adam Pellerin; current .921 save rate and 7 quality starts in 10 starts.
    • Joel Hofer confirmed 10:07am by Lou Korac; current .917 save rate and 3 quality starts in 8 starts.
    • St. Louis owns the stronger current power play, 22.8% versus Boston’s 17.2%; Boston’s PK advantage is the counterweight.
    Cohort Check
    • Boston averages 3.769 goals per game versus St. Louis at 2.917 through 12, 13 games.
    • Confirmed Jeremy Swayman owns a .921 save percentage and 2.19 GAA; Joel Hofer is at .917 and 2.40.
    • Early-season scoring rates are noisy, and Boston's sample is only 13 games.
    Morning Puck
    • Poisson model with early-season shrink makes Boston a 56% winner; the contract costs 50¢.
    • Boston is 9-3-1 with 3.769 goals per game; St. Louis is 5-6-1 with 3.083 goals allowed per game.
    • Pinnacle's devigged number is near a coin flip, so the model is materially more bullish than the sharp market.

    Why it likes it
    • Against last season's baseline, Swayman is up 1.35 percentage points; Hofer is up only 0.17 points.
    • Swayman is confirmed and has faced 108 shots across his last four starts in 10 days; the workload profile is not reflected in Boston's plus-money price.
    • Hofer's last-10 figure uses two April 2026 starts because he has only eight current-season starts; the sample is partly cross-season.
