CONFIRMS

Independent matchup research verdict for Boston Bruins +1.5: CONFIRMS. Confirmed Swayman and Ottawa’s verified defensive/personnel absences provide independent support for Boston +1.5. Boston’s personnel and special-teams concerns were real but did not constitute supported opposition or a major contradiction.

Why it made the cut

• Confirmed Swayman start and stronger established recent-season baseline.
• Ottawa without Sanderson, Zub, and Greig.
• Ottawa’s replacement defense configuration is materially thinner.
• Boston’s first scoring line remains intact.

Main risks

• McAvoy remains suspended, removing Boston’s top defenseman.
• Brunet, with one prior NHL game, makes his season debut on Boston’s third pair.
• Boston’s latest game exposed a special-teams problem, with Minnesota scoring twice on the power play.
• Boston returns from a multi-city road swing.

No separate reviewed main concern recorded.

Result

Settlement adds or corrects the result; original saved public research is retained.
