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".

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.With the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs first round starting April 18, trader consensus in advancement markets hinges on finalized brackets from recent clinchings, including Ottawa Senators and Boston Bruins securing Eastern wild cards after New Jersey's win over Detroit, and Los Angeles Kings locking West WC2. Home-ice advantages favor top seeds like Colorado Avalanche (vs. LA), Dallas Stars (vs. Minnesota Wild), Vegas Golden Knights (vs. Utah), and Edmonton Oilers (vs. Anaheim Ducks), bolstered by strong regular-season records and goaltender save percentages. Key injuries shape edges—Montreal Canadiens' Noah Dobson out early, Tampa Bay Lightning's Brandon Hagel and Nick Paul Raddysh sidelined—while Edmonton's Leon Draisaitl returns from lower-body issue; power play efficiency, penalty kill rates, and head-to-head trends will drive best-of-seven outcomes amid full rosters post-rest.
