Win Probability
The New York Rangers travel to Columbus to face the Blue Jackets in a matchup where the simulation clearly favors the visitors. Alexis Lafreniere projects a 37% chance of exceeding one point, while Adam Fantilli has a 46% chance of registering at least one point—a gap that reflects where the model expects offensive momentum to lie. The game hinges on whether Columbus can generate secondary scoring; Kent Johnson at 42% and Pavel Dorofeyev at 44% represent the depth-scoring battle that will determine the final margin. AccuScore's model has gone 7-for-8 in recent games with this win-probability shape. For the Blue Jackets to pull the upset, they would need their skill players to cluster above expectation and their defense to tighten the projected gap.
