This market will resolve to “Yes” if the listed team makes the 2025–26 NHL Playoffs. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No.” A team will be considered to have made the Playoffs if it qualifies for the postseason bracket under the official rules of the NHL for the 2025–26 season. Qualification through any officially recognized NHL format (including Wild Card berths) will count. If it becomes impossible for the listed team to qualify for the Playoffs based on the rules of the NHL (e.g. the team is mathematically eliminated), this market will resolve immediately to “No.” The resolution source for this market will be official information from the NHL, however a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.With roughly eight to ten games remaining before the April 16 regular-season finale, the NHL playoff race hinges on chaotic Eastern Conference wild-card battles among Boston Bruins (92 points, leading WC1), Columbus Blue Jackets (88), Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings (86 each), and Philadelphia Flyers (84), where regulation wins serve as key tiebreakers amid recent slumps for Columbus, Ottawa, and Detroit contrasted by Boston's steady form. In the West, Utah Mammoth (82) hold WC1 ahead of a crowded Nashville Predators (77), Los Angeles Kings (76), and Seattle Kraken (75) scrum, fueled by Anaheim Ducks' deadline acquisition of John Carlson bolstering their Pacific lead. Clinched spots for Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars, Minnesota Wild, Tampa Bay Lightning, Buffalo Sabres, Carolina Hurricanes, and Montreal Canadiens reflect strong finishes, but Ottawa's Erik Chabot out for the season dims their surge, while traders weigh back-to-back schedules and injury reports in this skin-in-the-game consensus.
