A split of 29 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.
On the total, 93% of bets and 92% of the money are on the Over 6.5. That's the normal pattern in hockey: over the last two seasons, 65% or more of total bets landed on the over in about 94% of NHL games.

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.
Almost always. Over the last two seasons, 65% or more of total bets landed on the over in about 94% of NHL games. On this game the public side of the total is the Over 6.5.
No. They reflect publicly reported sportsbook handle, aggregated, rather than a single book's customers. Individual books can differ, especially early in the day when few bets are in.
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.
The Vegas Golden Knights have 64% of the moneyline dollars against 93% of the tickets, a 29-point difference. A gap that size means the larger bets are not landing in the same proportions as the ticket count.
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.
