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 under two weeks remaining until the April 16 regular-season finale, eight teams have clinched Stanley Cup Playoff spots, including Eastern Conference leaders Buffalo Sabres (100 points), Carolina Hurricanes (100), Tampa Bay Lightning (98), Montréal Canadiens (96), and wild-card leader Boston Bruins (94, 7-1-2 L10), alongside Western frontrunners Colorado Avalanche (108), Dallas Stars (100), and Anaheim Ducks (87). Trader consensus hinges on volatile wild-card races: East sees Pittsburgh Penguins (92) edging New York Islanders (89) and Columbus Blue Jackets (88), while West pits Utah Mammoth (82) against Nashville Predators (77) and a tight pack at 75-76 points including Los Angeles Kings and Winnipeg Jets. Recent surges—Winnipeg's OT win over Chicago, Washington's Ovechkin-fueled victory versus Philadelphia, and Carolina's third-period rally past Columbus—have shuffled standings amid 7-9 games left, emphasizing hot streaks and head-to-head tiebreakers.
