A split of 30 points puts this game in roughly the top quarter of NHL games. It tells you the bigger bettors see this game differently from the crowd. It doesn't tell you they're right: across the last two seasons, simply following the money on NHL moneylines lost about the bookmaker's margin.

The Carolina Hurricanes have 65% of the moneyline dollars against 95% of the tickets, a 30-point difference. A gap that size means the larger bets are not landing in the same proportions as the ticket count.
Not on the split alone. Across the last two NHL seasons, backing the side with more money than tickets and fading heavily bet public sides both lost at closing prices, about the size of the bookmaker's margin. Splits are context for your own read, not a pick.
The hockey version of a point spread, set at 1.5 goals: the favorite at -1.5 must win by two or more, the underdog at +1.5 covers with any win or a one-goal loss. The prices move instead of the number.
At the latest snapshot, the Carolina Hurricanes have 95% of the moneyline bets and 65% of the money. The table above has both teams on the moneyline, puck line and total.
Less than it sounds. The typical NHL game closes with about 80% of moneyline tickets on one side, usually the favorite, and one game in four clears 87%. A split this one-sided mostly says who the public sees as the favorite.
Every ticket counts once in the bet percentage, but in the money percentage a $1,000 bet counts a hundred times more than a $10 one. When the two disagree, the bigger bets are landing somewhere other than the crowd. In the NHL that is common: last season the typical closing moneyline gap was about 11 points, and one game in four cleared 22. On its own, following the money has not beaten NHL prices.
