Win Probability
Dallas Stars travel to face the Columbus Blue Jackets in a matchup where the simulation leans clearly toward the visitors. Mikko Rantanen projects at 58% to record more than 0.5 points, while Zach Werenski sits at 52%—a marginal edge for Dallas's forward against Columbus's defender. The game turns on whether Dallas's secondary scoring can sustain pressure; Roope Hintz and Kent Johnson both sit below 42%, suggesting depth scoring will be scarce. On similar win-probability shapes across other matchups, the model's lean has proved reliable 5 times in 8 games. Columbus would need to tighten scoring chances and limit Dallas's top-line production to overturn the projection.
