Win Probability
This matchup between the Florida Panthers and Columbus Blue Jackets figures as a coin-flip, with the simulation favoring Florida barely. Matthew Tkachuk of the visiting Panthers has a 68% chance of recording a point, while his teammate Brady Tkachuk projects 3.3 shots on goal and a 59% chance to contribute offensively. The game hinges on whether either offense can break through: Columbus counters with Charlie Coyle and Matthew Knies each at 52% to post a point, suggesting a defensively contested affair. AccuScore's model has gone under in similar spots 43% of the time across 76 comparable games. For Columbus to steal this one at home, it would need to limit the Panthers' scoring chances and capitalize on its own few opportunities.
