Understanding Public and Money
Think of 'Public' as the percentage of people betting on each side and 'Money' as how much money is being bet. When there's a big difference between the 'Public' and 'Money' data, it usually means that the more serious bettors (referred to as 'Sharp Money') are favoring a particular side.

Matt's Analysis:
What's the smart play? Probably Wild +1.5, but I fear the Nathan MacKinnon empty-netter and the two-goal Minnesota loss -- goalies are getting pulled with like 6 minutes left these days whereas usually in the final minute or so in the regular season. NHL playoffs are tough, man, not getting the +1/-1 or a total that I so prefer. Why not playing much of late. So I'll just have to eat this number and bump up the wager a bit. Top-line Minny forward Joel Eriksson Ek is in some doubt.
