This market will resolve “Yes” if the listed team advances to Round 2 of the 2026 NHL Playoffs. If at any point it becomes impossible for the listed team to reach Round 2 of the 2026 NHL Playoffs (e.g. they are eliminated), the associated market will resolve to "No". If the 2026 NHL Playoffs are cancelled, postponed after June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET or the results of the 2026 Playoffs first round have not been declared within that timeframe, this market will resolve to “No”. The resolution source for this market will be official information from the NHL (https://www.nhl.com/); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Trader consensus favors teams holding 3-2 first-round leads like Buffalo Sabres (80%), Minnesota Wild (74%), Philadelphia Flyers (74%), and Vegas Golden Knights (60%) to advance to the Stanley Cup playoffs second round, driven by home-ice advantages in pivotal Game 6s and strong goaltending in recent outings. Over the past 48 hours, underdog Game 5 road wins by Bruins, Penguins, and Oilers extended series, tightening odds on Tampa Bay Lightning (62% despite Montreal's 3-2 edge) and Edmonton Oilers (51% vs. Ducks), while Golden Knights' 2OT triumph and Wild's 4-2 victory solidified their positions. Carolina Hurricanes and Colorado Avalanche already swept opponents, highlighting elite power-play execution; key factors ahead include potential returns like Tampa's Victor Hedman and fatigue from OT marathons.
