Carolina Hurricanes: 2nd in Metropolitan Division, 111 points* New York Islanders: 3rd in Metropolitan Division, 92 points* * – with one game remaining To be announced. When the NHL adopted its current division-centric playoff format, it threw gasoline at already red-hot rivalries like Penguins-Capitals, Bruins-Maple Leafs, and perhaps the most violent, hate-filled clash of them all, Islanders-Hurricanes. Not buying it? Fine. Still, when the teams throw down as the Metropolitan Division’s first and second runners-up (never mind the 20-point gap), it will be their third playoff meeting...…Carolina Hurricanes: 2nd in Metropolitan Division, 111 points* New York Islanders: 3rd in Metropolitan Division, 92 points* * – with one game remaining To be announced.

Making preseason NHL predictions is a lot like throwing darts at your local watering hole on Tuesday nights. There will be the rare bullseye, many more misses, and some shots that just make you look plain drunk. Every season, there are at least a few things that happen that almost no one saw coming – like the Vancouver Canucks challenging for a Pacific Division title or Zach Hyman scoring 54 goals. With just a few days left on the regular season slate, it’s time to look back, audit our 32 bold predictions from October and add up all the scores: 1.
