What cashed

Ryan Leonard 2+ shots on goal (-180 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Leonard came in with 2+ shots in every game this season, 10 shots across 4 games, and in his last 10 straight. - What happened: Leonard finished with 0 goals, 1 assist and 4 shots on goal in 15:21 of ice time, 2:14 of it on the power play. That is 2.5 over the line. He got his first shot at 19:14 of the 1st and cleared the line at 17:05 of the 2nd, then added two more. He also picked up the second assist on Kyrou's goal at 11:41 of the 1st. - Worth watching: The shot volume held again, and he is getting power-play time. At a price near -180 the angle stays worth a look as long as that usage holds.

Jared McCann 2+ shots on goal (-165 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: McCann had 15 shots in 5 games with 2+ in 4 of them, and Washington was allowing 28.8 shots a game. - What happened: McCann went 1 goal, 0 assists, 2 shots on goal in 15:36 (2:01 on the power play), 0.5 over the line. This one went late. His first shot on goal came at 11:58 of the 2nd, and his second was the game-winner, a snap shot at 14:33 of the 3rd from Brandon Montour and Ryker Evans. - Worth watching: He landed exactly two on goal and had several more attempts go wide, so the margin was thin. The volume profile is still there, but this was the tightest of the three.

Bobby McMann 3+ shots on goal (-115 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: McMann had 3+ shots in all 5 games (18 total), and Washington was allowing 28.5 shots a game. At a confidence of 64, this was a longer shot that landed. - What happened: McMann had 0 goals, 1 assist and 4 shots on goal in 18:58 (2:00 on the power play), 1.5 over the line. He had three on goal by 1:22 of the 2nd and added a fourth at 14:33 of the 2nd. He also set up Eberle's tying goal at 19:49 of the 1st. - Worth watching: He played the most minutes of the three and kept shooting all night. A near-even price on 3+ shots is the kind of number we would look at again.

How the game played out

The 1st period set the tone, with four goals and Seattle tying it 2-2 just before the horn. Gaudreau's backhand at 13:24 of the 2nd gave Seattle the lead, and Jenner erased it early in the 3rd. Every goal came at even strength. Washington had more shots and more hits, but Thompson gave up 5 on 27, and McCann and Winterton broke it open in the final six minutes.

Trends to watch

• Leonard logged 2:14 on the power play and put 4 on goal. Watch whether that power-play role sticks.
• McMann led this trio in ice time at 18:58 and had 4 shots on goal. Big minutes keep a 3+ shot line in play.
• Daccord faced 36 shots and Thompson faced 27. Washington's shot volume made for a busy night in the Seattle net.
