Win Probability
The Carolina Hurricanes host a visiting Columbus Blue Jackets team in a matchup where the simulation clearly favours the home side. Sebastian Aho projects as the game's most likely point scorer at 62%, while Zach Werenski offers the visitors their best individual chance at 50%. The game turns on whether Columbus can generate secondary scoring; Kent Johnson sits at just 29% to record a point, suggesting depth will determine the outcome. AccuScore's model has gone 59% over 2645 similarly shaped games, a modest but consistent lean. For the Blue Jackets to pull the upset, their supporting cast would need to break through and sustain pressure across all three periods.
