National Hockey Now Predictions: Playoffs, Stanley Cup, Awards

Published

on

Florida panthers

Who will win the 2022 Stanley Cup?



Can the Tampa Bay Lightning three-peat? Can Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers finally make some noise in the playoffs? Could the Toronto Maple Leafs actually make it out of the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time since 2004? Can the Florida Panthers dethrone the Bolts in the Atlantic?

Will McDavid clean house on the awards again or will Nathan MacKinnon finally become the new MVP of the NHL and win the Hart Trophy? Will Marc-Andre Fleury make the Vegas Golden Knights regret their botched handling of his trade to the Chicago BlackHawks and win a second-straight Vezina Trophy? What rookie will dazzle the NHL like Kirill Kaprizov did last season and win the Calder Trophy?

It’s that time of year again; that time when we all really have no clue but try and peek into the crystal ball and sound smart with our NHL regular season, Stanley Cup, and awards predictions. Here are some stabs at what may happen this season from the National Hockey Now panel:
