The dollars are even more one-sided than the tickets on Ottawa Senators at Boston Bruins. The Boston Bruins have 55% of the moneyline bets and 77% of the money, so the bigger bets are on the same side as the crowd, only more so.
That's a 22-point gap in the other direction from the usual one. There's no disagreement to read here: large and small bettors want the same team, and the price already reflects it.
On the total, 80% of bets and 89% of the money are on the Over 5.5. 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.

At the latest snapshot, the Boston Bruins have 55% of the moneyline bets and 77% of the money. The table above has both teams on the moneyline, puck line and total.
Bet percentage counts tickets: every wager counts once. Money percentage counts dollars, so one $1,000 bet outweighs a hundred $10 ones. Reading the two together shows whether the bigger bettors agree with the crowd.
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.
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.
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.
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.
