Result+1.5u

Konecny POINTS OVER 0.5
Final Score0
Result-1u

📊 Recap

Konecny was held pointless despite the solid process behind targeting Philadelphia's top offensive weapon in an underdog spot. The fundamental read on his consistent production in high-leverage situations was sound, but execution didn't materialize on this occasion.

Final Score0

Our Pick
OVER 6.5
Final Score1-3
Result-1u

📊 Recap

Gauthier SOG OVER 3.5
Final Score2
Result-1u

📊 Recap

Gauthier managed just 2 shots on goal, falling well short of our 3.5 line despite the solid underlying process that supported the pick. Sometimes variance works against even well-reasoned plays built on strong historical data and situational factors.

Final Score33

LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Ducks +1.5
Final Score1-3

The Ducks fell 1-3, failing to capitalize on their regular season dominance over Vegas as the Golden Knights controlled play throughout. Our process remained sound given the historical context and tight puck line movement, but Vegas executed better when it mattered most.
