AccuScore simulates the rest of the NHL regular season every day and reports what happened across those runs: projected win-loss records, division title odds and playoff probabilities for all 32 teams. The table below is the current state of that forecast — it moves as results come in, so a team's playoff number today is not the one it had last week.
The most likely bracket across AccuScore's simulations of the rest of the season: each seed goes to the team that holds it most often, and the favourite advances from every game. The percentage beside a team is its chance to win that game if the matchup happens. Title odds further down add up every possible path, so the favourite to win it all is not always the team at the end of this bracket. The first two rounds stay inside each division: the division winner meets a wild card, the second and third places meet, and the two winners play the division final.
Projected Stanley Cup winner: Carolina Hurricanes
The percentage beside a seed is how often that team finishes in that exact seed. Seeds 1 and 2 are the division winners, 3 to 6 the divisions’ second and third places, 7 and 8 the wild cards.
Each team's chance to reach every round, and to win it all. Top 12 by title chance.
