The Vegas Golden Knights will make a coaching change in the middle of the 2026 Stanley Cup playoffs.<\/p>\n

The Buffalo Sabres will reach the Eastern Conference final.<\/p>\n

The Minnesota Wild advance past the first round for the first time since 2015.<\/p>\n

Those were among the responses The Athletic<\/em> got this week when it asked its hockey staff for bold predictions for the postseason.<\/p>\n

Here are some prognostications from writers, with puck drop on playoff hockey just hours away.<\/p>\n\n

Pittsburgh Penguins<\/h2>\n

They will reach the second round <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Penguins get the best draw of anyone in the East. With all due respect to the Flyers, the Penguins are the better team on paper. And the Penguins are getting a better draw than the Hurricanes, who won the Metropolitan Division. Carolina could easily lose its first-round matchup, which actually gives the Penguins a real chance to reach the Eastern Conference final. They had a 9 percent chance to reach the postseason in Vegas sports books in October and have become quite a story. \u2014 Josh Yohe<\/em><\/p>\n

Philadelphia Flyers<\/h2>\n

Matvei Michkov will lead the team in scoring<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michkov regressed this season. After 26 goals and 63 points in his rookie year, he managed just 20 goals and 51 points in 2025-26. But coming out of the Olympic break, which he used to get in some much-needed conditioning work and training, Michkov was one of the Flyers\u2019 most effective wingers down the stretch. He scored huge goals in key wins over Winnipeg and Carolina, suggesting he has a knack for rising to the occasion. \u2014 Kevin Kurz<\/em><\/p>\n

Ottawa Senators<\/h2>\n

They will advance to the Eastern Conference final<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Senators turned their season around with a strong second half propelled by improvements in goaltending and penalty killing. But their general structure of strong defensive work and pouncing on offensive chances has been their bread and butter all year long. It\u2019s a playoff-ready style that can take some teams by surprise this year, and it could lead to them winning a round or more. \u2014 Julian McKenzie<\/em><\/p>\n

Carolina Hurricanes<\/h2>\n

They will reach the Stanley Cup Final<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Hurricanes have been criticized for not reaching the Stanley Cup Final, but this is their best team since Rod Brind\u2019Amour took over as coach. The Hurricanes will be clear favorites in the opening round and again in Round 2 should they advance. The path on the other half of the Eastern Conference bracket is harsher. If Carolina can make quick work of its opponents in the first two rounds, it will set itself up to be ready to get past the conference final. \u2014 Cory Lavalette<\/em><\/p>\n

Boston Bruins<\/h2>\n

James Hagens will make an offensive impact<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hagens had an assist in his NHL debut against the Blue Jackets. It was a good warmup for what is to come. The 19-year-old is in the running to be the No. 3 left wing for Game 1 because of his speed, skill, puck-moving ability and awareness. There are more goals and assists coming in the playoffs for the No. 7 pick from 2025. \u2014 Fluto Shinzawa<\/em><\/p>\n

Buffalo Sabres<\/h2>\n

They will go to the Eastern Conference final<\/strong><\/p>\n

By winning the Atlantic Division, the Sabres have set themselves up to keep their feel-good story going deep into the playoffs. The Bruins won\u2019t be an easy out, but if the Sabres survive that series, they will get the winner of a Lightning-Canadiens series that is going to be grueling and physical. It\u2019s bold to predict a playoff newcomer to win two rounds, but the Sabres have the path and the roster to do it. \u2014 Matthew Fairburn<\/em><\/p>\n

Tampa Bay Lightning<\/h2>\n

Andrei Vasilevskiy will return to playoff form<\/strong><\/p>\n

It may not sound bold, knowing Vasilevskiy\u2019s reputation in the Lightning\u2019s three straight trips to the Stanley Cup Final. But the reality is, he hasn\u2019t lived up to that name in the last three postseasons. It doesn\u2019t fall fully on his shoulders, but the pressure is on for him to find his form and be a postseason game breaker again. \u2014 Shayna Goldman<\/em><\/p>\n

Montreal Canadiens<\/h2>\n

Jakub Dobe\u0161 will record a first-round shutout<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is bold because Dobe\u0161 is facing the Lightning. But it could happen because Dobe\u0161 allowed a single goal to the Lightning twice in a span of 10 days in a pair of Canadiens wins against their future first-round opponent. Making one extra save is in him. From the trade deadline through the end of the season, Dobe\u0161 led the NHL in goals saved above expected, according to Hockey Stats. Only Nashville\u2019s Justus Annunen was even close. \u2014 Arpon Basu<\/em><\/p>\n

Minnesota Wild<\/h2>\n

They will advance to the second round for the first time since 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the best team in Wild history and hardly the same one Dallas faced in 2023. First, there are the three legit superstars in Kirill Kaprizov, Matt Boldy and Quinn Hughes. Kaprizov played hurt in 2023, Boldy wasn\u2019t a star yet, and Hughes wasn\u2019t in Minnesota. Plus, Joel Eriksson Ek essentially missed the series, Ryan Hartman had a knee injury, and Brock Faber was a third-pair defenseman fresh off college ice. This is now a skilled, deep team that can get goals from three lines and beat teams up in the bottom six. \u2014 Michael Russo<\/em><\/p>\n

Dallas Stars<\/h2>\n

Jason Robertson will have more than one multi-goal game against the Wild <\/strong><\/p>\n

Robertson has just three multi-goal games in 56 career playoff games, but he\u2019s found another gear this season. And he surely will be extra motivated to send Minnesota general manager Bill Guerin home early after being left off Team USA\u2019s Olympic roster. Can he match Mikko Rantanen\u2019s spectacular first-round performance against Colorado last spring? He might need to (or at least come close) in the toughest early matchup of the postseason. \u2014 Mark Lazerus<\/em><\/p>\n

Edmonton Oilers<\/h2>\n

Their secondary scoring shows up<\/strong><\/p>\n

This exercise might be tougher for the Oilers than any other team. Would anyone be surprised if Connor McDavid and a soon-to-be-available Leon Draisaitl dragged them for two, three or four rounds? Nope. Would anyone be surprised if they self-destructed in the first round against Anaheim, their recent run of solid defensive play notwithstanding? Nope. How about this: Their second layer \u2014 Matt Savoie, Vasily Podkolzin \u2014 comes up with some big, necessary goals to win them a series. It\u2019s bold, but it shouldn\u2019t be. \u2014 Sean Gentille<\/em><\/p>\n

Anaheim Ducks<\/h2>\n

They will upset the Oilers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is this bold enough? Let\u2019s just say the Oilers better not let it happen and have Connor McDavid start questioning whether they\u2019ll ever win it all. The Ducks can\u2019t defend consistently, and their shaky penalty kill against a prolific Edmonton power play isn\u2019t a good match. But there will be plenty of goals in this series, and Luk\u00e1\u0161 Dost\u00e1l has big-game ability even if he\u2019s had a so-so season. Anaheim can score and is no longer intimidated by Edmonton\u2019s high-paced game. If Dost\u00e1l outplays Connor Ingram, who knows? \u2014 Eric Stephens<\/em><\/p>\n

\n Vegas closed the regular season undefeated in regulation (7-0-1) under new coach John Tortorella. (Ethan Miller \/ Getty Images)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Vegas Golden Knights<\/h2>\n

They will make a coaching change in the middle of the playoffs<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t believe this has ever happened, but these are supposed to be bold, right? Vegas fired Gerard Gallant after he took an expansion team to the Stanley Cup Final. It fired Pete DeBoer after he twice led the team to the final four of the playoffs. It fired its Cup-winning coach, Bruce Cassidy, with eight games left in the season. John Tortorella has sparked the team, but what if that magic wears off after a series or two? We\u2019ve seen this organization make bolder moves in the past. \u2014 Jesse Granger<\/em><\/p>\n

Utah Mammoth<\/h2>\n

Logan Cooley will break out as their best offensive driver<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clayton Keller has been Utah\u2019s offensive engine and best player all season long. Cooley, in an injury-plagued season, is producing at a 65 points per 82 games pace, which is good, but not elite. With his elite speed and skill combination, however, I\u2019m predicting Cooley will use the 2026 playoffs as a launching pad for his arrival as a true star player in this league. \u2014 Harman Dayal<\/em><\/p>\n

Colorado Avalanche<\/h2>\n

They will win a Game 7 <\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know which round, and I don\u2019t know if it will lead to a championship, but I think this is the year the Avalanche will overcome their Game 7 losing streak. They\u2019ve lost seven Game 7s in a row dating to the 2002 Western Conference final against Detroit. \u2014 Peter Baugh<\/em><\/p>\n

Los Angeles Kings<\/h2>\n

They will give An\u017ee Kopitar three more home games<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is bold and there is wacky. Wacky is thinking the Kings will pull off the mother of upsets against the team that could be the heavy Stanley Cup favorite as long as it gets past the Minnesota-Dallas winner in the second round. But bold is thinking the Kings will steal a couple of wins and make Colorado sweat a little. That would mean getting to a Game 6 in L.A., and if that means another send-off for the classy center in front of his appreciative fan base, that\u2019s not a bad thing. \u2014 Eric Stephens<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
