Minnesota Wild

Win Probability
Minnesota Wild hosts Columbus Blue Jackets in a matchup where the simulation favours the home side. Quinn Hughes projects to exceed 0.5 points in 64% of outcomes, while Kirill Kaprizov reaches that mark in 57%—a pair of offensive engines that should anchor Minnesota's advantage. Columbus' best individual chance comes through Zach Werenski, who hits 0.5 points in 52% of simulations. The game likely turns on whether Columbus can generate secondary scoring; Damon Severson and Adam Fantilli sit at 36% and 33% respectively, suggesting depth scoring could be sparse for the visitors. AccuScore's model has won 49% of calls shaped this way over 2440 graded games, a modest track record that leaves room for the Blue Jackets to pull the upset.
