Predicted Outcome
Bridgeport Islanders, while underdogs, offer value at +165 given the unpredictable nature of early-season AHL games and the potential for home advantage to play a role. Providence is favored for good reason, but the odds overcorrect their historical H2H edge, making Bridgeport the sharp pick in a potentially close game.
Predicted Score: Bridgeport Islanders 2, Providence Bruins 3
