Details

We adopt conservative, model-style assumptions in the absence of external data: we estimate the Florida Panthers have a roughly 57% chance to win at home and the Ottawa Senators a 43% chance (p_away = 0.43). Market-implied probabilities from the provided moneylines are ~51.8% for Florida (1/1.93) and ~31.25% for Ottawa (1/3.2). Comparing our estimates to the market, both sides technically show positive expected value (because the market odds understate both probabilities given our split), but the larger discrepancy and therefore the larger EV is on Ottawa. Calculation for Ottawa: EV = p * odds - 1 = 0.43 * 3.20 - 1 = 0.376 (37.6% ROI on a 1-unit stake). The minimum fair decimal odds for Ottawa at our estimated probability is 1 / 0.43 = 2.326; the market price 3.20 is well above that, creating value. We note substantial uncertainty because we have no live injury, form, or lineup data; our estimate is conservative and factors in typical NHL home-ice edge and parity, but the math shows a clear pricing inefficiency favoring the away moneyline at the supplied odds.
