Here's an interesting little quirk. To the third decimal place, Pittsburgh and Nashville are equally likely to win their series. This despite Pittsburgh being tied 1-1, while Nashville took a 2-1 lead. This, of course, is because Pittsburgh's strength far outstrips Ottawa, while Nashville is actually weaker than Anaheim.
