East: some terrific matchups.

NY Islanders vs Canes: Canes, and probably easily, in 5.

Maple Leafs vs Bruins: Bruins (in 7). This is super interesting. Bruins have the better goalies. Nod to the Bruins.

Lightning vs Panthers: Panthers, but it’ll be interesting and close.

Rangers vs Capitals: Rangers bigly

West:

Avalanche vs Jets: Avs win, but it’s close. Jets have the best goalie. Avs have the better power play and offensively elite players.

Predators vs Canucks: Going on a limb and going with the Preds. Better goalie.

Vegas vs Stars: Stars in 7. Just barely. Vegas keeps it close. Could go either way if Vegas, to no one’s surprise, suddenly gets healthy.

Kings vs Oilers: Oilers. McDavid wills them to win this series. Probably goes to 6 games.
