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 in the NHL regular season ending April 18, eight teams per conference have clinched Stanley Cup playoff berths, led by Presidents' Trophy winner New York Rangers (East) and Central Division-topping Dallas Stars (West). Eastern wild card race tightened after Detroit Red Wings' 4-3 OT win over Washington Capitals on Wednesday, holding a one-point edge on New York Islanders (one game in hand) and two on Philadelphia Flyers. Western battle sees Minnesota Wild leapfrog St. Louis Blues into second wild card via Tuesday's 4-2 victory, both at 99 points needing one win to secure spots amid Los Angeles Kings' late surge. Key factors include rest advantages, back-to-back schedules, and divisional games, with trader consensus reflecting roster health and recent momentum in tight races.
