Our Pick
UNDER 6.5
Final Score3-6
Result-1.5u

📊 Recap

Our UNDER 6.5 analysis correctly identified both teams' recent defensive trends, but Boston's offense exploded for six goals in a 6-3 final that sailed over the total. The process was sound with legitimate defensive metrics, but variance went against us in what became a higher-scoring affair than projected.

Our Pick
Flames +1.5
