NHL predictions and rankings - April 6, 2023


Just a few more games and the season is over. McDavid is two points from the 150 points mark with three games to play.

Predictions for the 2022-23 season

The Rangers and the Oilers have been playing well recently and that shows in their increasing probabilities of winning the Cup. The Bruins are still the big favourites to win it all.

Although the Senators, the Red Wings, the Sabres and the Predators are not yet mathematically eliminated, they have practically zero chance of making it in.

It’s a race to the bottom between the Blackhawks, the Blue Jackets and the Ducks.
