Hockey markets today look less like Wall Street and more like crypto in a cold streak. Volatility is king.

📉 Market Regime Check (SBI – NHL YTD)

Before we touch a single puck, here’s the macro picture:

• ATS (Puck Line): BEARISH (YTD)
  • Favorites: 33.9%
  • Dogs: 66.2%
    👉 If you’re blindly laying juice or puck lines, you’re lighting bankrolls on fire.
• SU: NEUTRAL (53.9% favs)
  👉 Better teams still win… but not at prices that make sense.
• Totals: NEUTRAL (50/50)
  👉 No free money on Overs or Unders long-term.

Translation:
This is a dog market, a price-sensitive market, and a discipline-required market. Treat teams like assets — not emotions.

🏒 Today’s NHL Asset Board (Stock-Market Lens)

EDMONTON (C) vs PITTSBURGH (C) — Total 6.5

EDM -200 | COW 59.96% | DMVI -1 | STK: 4 Under

• Edmonton = overpriced brand stock
• Losing record (25-26) laying -200? That’s not investing — that’s paying for the logo.

PIT +160 | COW 40.24% | DMVI +1 | STK: 3 Over

• Pittsburgh = distressed asset, but priced correctly
  Asset Take:
  In a bearish ATS market, this is classic “don’t overpay for oil”. Edmonton may win — but the price is toxic.

FLORIDA (B) @ WINNIPEG (C) — Total 5.5

FLA -105 | COW 55.53% | DMVI -1

• Florida = steady dividend stock, nothing flashy
  WPG -111 | BULLISH (2) | COW 41.14% | STK: 2 Under
• Winnipeg = early-cycle rebound play
  Asset Take:
  Low total, tight pricing, neutral SBI totals → no rush trade. This is a watchlist game, not an all-in position.

MONTREAL (B) vs BUFFALO (B) — Total 6.5

MTL -137 | COW 65.75% | DMVI -1 | STK: 3 Over

• Montreal = strong balance sheet, market trusts them
  BUF +115 | COW 29.41% | DMVI +1
• Buffalo = volatile penny stock
  Asset Take:
  Montreal is legit — but again, favorites ATS are poison YTD. If you play this, think totals, not sides.

DALLAS (B) @ COLUMBUS (C) — Total 6.5

DAL -125 | COW 60.75% | DMVI -1

• Dallas = quiet blue chip
  CBJ +105 | COW 40.4% | DMVI +1
• Columbus = cheap, low-growth asset
  Asset Take:
  This is the type of game where Dallas wins… and bettors still lose. Price matters more than talent tonight.

MINNESOTA (B) vs DETROIT (A) — Total 6

MIN -149 | COW 55.17% | STK: 6 Over

• Minnesota = inflated asset, public-friendly
  DET +125 | BULLISH (6) | COW 52.17% | STK: 2 SU W
• Detroit = momentum stock in an uptrend
  Asset Take:
  In a dog-heavy NHL market, Detroit fits the SBI profile perfectly. This is where sharp money lives.

BOSTON (B) @ VEGAS (B) — Total 6

BOS +115 | BULLISH (11) | COW 43.87% | STK: 2 Over

• Boston = bullish cycle + underpriced
  VGK -137 | BULLISH (8) | COW 56.28% | DMVI -1
• Vegas = name-brand tax
  Asset Take:
  Both bullish, but Boston is the better risk/reward stock. In a bearish ATS climate, plus-money matters.

CAROLINA (A) vs CHICAGO (C) — Total 6

CAR -303 | BULLISH (6) | COW 46.88%

• Carolina = elite team, awful price
  CHI +240 | COW 41.67% | DMVI +1
• Chicago = dumpster fire… but paid to hold it
  Asset Take:
  This is a textbook trap favorite. Carolina can dominate and still not justify the entry cost.

🧠 Final Word from the Trading Desk

The NHL right now is not a favorite’s league.
The SBI is screaming DOGS, price sensitivity, and patience.

If you’re still betting NHL like it’s the NBA — you’re doing it wrong.
