2025 NHL Playoff Predictions: Stanley Cup Second Round Matchups 

Post#1 » by RealGM Articles » Mon May 5, 2025 6:34 pm

In the Western Conference, the No. 1 seeded Winnipeg Jets avoided the \\\"President Trophy Curse\\\" with a thrilling, come-from-behind, double overtime Game 7 win over the St. Louis Blues on Sunday night. Winnipeg will now take on the Stars in the second round, after the Dallas Stars also rallied to beat the Colorado Avalanche in another Game 7 nail biter.  We\\\'ll see two emotionally and physically drained teams face off, with the Stars outlasting the Jets in 6-games, which will keep my eventual Stanley Cup winner in play.  
 
In the other Western Conference semifinal, the Vegas Golden Knights will again display a potent offensive attack, and be able to slow down the Edmonton Oilers- Connor McDavid and Company. The team from Vegas will win in 6-games.
 
In one of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Toronto Maple Leafs are the more desperate team, but the Florida Panthers are playing much more consistent, and have the solid Sergei Bobrovsky in the net. The Panthers will take out the Maple Leafs in five games.
 
In the other Eastern Conference semifinals, it looks like we\\\'ll see the Washington Capitals speed and depth against the Hurricanes, who can beat you in so many ways. The Hurricanes in six games!

• Stars over Jets in six games
• Golden Knights over Oilers in six games
 
Eastern Conference Second-Round
