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.With the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs first round complete, Buffalo Sabres, Montreal Canadiens, Carolina Hurricanes, and Philadelphia Flyers advanced in the East, while Colorado Avalanche, Minnesota Wild, Vegas Golden Knights, and Anaheim Ducks progressed from the West. Trader sentiment in advancement markets shifted dramatically in final games, highlighted by Montreal's 2-1 Game 7 victory over Tampa Bay Lightning after Tampa forced it with a 1-0 OT win in Game 6, and Philadelphia's 1-0 OT shutout in Game 6 to eliminate Pittsburgh Penguins. Upsets like Anaheim's 4-2 series win over injury-plagued Edmonton Oilers—where Connor McDavid played through a foot/ankle fracture—and Minnesota's 4-2 edge over Dallas Stars underscored goaltending edges and depth resilience, aligning with closing implied probabilities favoring resilient home teams in do-or-die scenarios. Second-round matchups now loom with rest advantages for sweep winners Carolina and Colorado.
