The NHL regular season proved to be an exceptionally unpredictable journey, a characteristic that even defied preseason forecasts. My initial predictions for the Western Conference playoff teams were remarkably accurate, with only one team deviating from my selections. However, my predictions for the Eastern Conference were less successful, with only three of my chosen teams ultimately making it to the postseason.
This unpredictability has set the stage for an exciting and wide-open first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
