Moneyline

Total
The betting market, with the margin removed, puts the over 5.5 goals at 55.3% and the under at 44.7%. AiQ's read matches the market price, so AiQ has no edge on the total. AiQ's projected total, 6.3 goals, comes from the same market prices, so it adds nothing to them.
Puck line
The betting market, with the margin removed, gives Winnipeg Jets +1.5 a 62.6% chance to cover and Montreal Canadiens -1.5 37.4%. AiQ's read matches the market price, so AiQ has no edge on the puck line.
Trends in play
Against the puck line, the records pull in opposite directions. The Montreal Canadiens failed to cover the puck line in 7 of 7 home games this season. Meanwhile, the Winnipeg Jets failed to cover the puck line in 4 straight games.
The total pulls both ways. Each of the last 3 meetings between the Montreal Canadiens and the Winnipeg Jets went under the total. Meanwhile, the Montreal Canadiens went over the total in 6 of 7 home games this season.
These come from the closing lines of this season and last. They are context, not the reason for AiQ's picks, and the books price them in.
