CBJ's Jet Greaves (.938 SV%, 1.91 GAA, elite tier) is the most dominant goalie on today's slate and gives Columbus a massive goaltending edge over FLA's Bobrovsky (.906) while FLA arrives in a 2-8 L10 cold spiral.
Key Factors
- Greaves SV% .938 vs Bobrovsky .906 — 32-point gap is enormous in hockey (worth ~0.5 goals per game)
- CBJ record: 31-21-8 (.583 pt%) vs FLA 30-28-3 (.513 pt%) — CBJ is the BETTER team by standings
- FLA form: COLD STREAK — 1-4 L5, 2-8 L10; CBJ form: 3-2 L5, 8-2 L10 — massive form divergence
- CBJ home ML -117 at 10-15% edge zone: GREEN 63.4% WR (n=41, z=+1.72) — our best structural zone
- FLA injuries: Seth Jones (D, IR) = top-4 defenseman absent, ~0.25 goal swing; plus Cole Schwindt, Gadjovich out
Risk Factors
- FLA is away favorite at -105 — market disagrees with our home team assessment; must respect market
- No V17 simulation output for this game — reduced model confidence, working from statistical factors only
- Trade deadline day roster disruption risk for both teams — any FLA/CBJ acquisitions may shift lineup dynamics
