Carolina's offense runs through four names: Aho, Ehlers, Blake and Svechnikov are the only Hurricanes projected for a point, and each carries a ceiling of two. Washington has no skater the model expects to hit the scoresheet, which leaves Ovechkin's shot volume as the Capitals' most dependable route to making noise.

Game 2 went to overtime on Arike Ogunbowale's playoff-record 45 and Gabby Williams' 36, and now the series comes down to one night at Chase Center. The quieter lever is Jessica Shepard: the model has her producing across points, rebounds and assists at once, and her rebound floor is the highest of anyone on either roster.
