pucking rare masterlist 2019

below the cut are all the fics added to the pucking rare collection 2019, sorted by team/relationship. thanks everyone who wrote, beta’d, left prompts and in any way contributed to this year’s collection!

fyi: fics are sorted by who was on what team prior to 1 july because trying to keep track of who is on what team is beyond our capabilities right now.

BOSTON BRUINS

Anders Bjork/Matt Grzelcyk/Charlie McAvoy; Anders Bjork/Charlie McAvoy

something worth holding onto by cjmasim

Anders turns over to face away from Charlie. It really doesn't matter how Charlie would react to him being aromantic. He's not going to come out to him just based on a random thought. There's no evidence whatsoever that Charlie likes him like that. If he did, he'd at least try to sleep in the same bed, Anders is sure.

It was a good hookup, and Charlie wants to do it again. Anders wants to do it again. So they'll do it again, and that's all they'll do. If it gets out of hand, well, he can deal with that when it happens.

Marcus Johansson & Brad Marchand

A 1000 Ways by onlypartly (foreverkneeld)

Marcus Johansson finally gets an apology from Brad Marchand. Sort of.

BUFFALO SABRES

Rasmus Dahlin/Casey Mittelstadt; Rasmus Dahlin/Victor Olofsson

bloom by eichart

Ras doesn’t mean to keep buying plants for each and every one of his teammates, but he does, creating little explosions of green and orange and purple around the apartment. It’s his nature to look after them, to know when something’s wrong, so he will.

This team: he loves them.

This city: it’s special.

Jake McCabe/Rasmus Ristolainen

emptiness to melody by rawrimmapanda

Jake knew that the random sore spots were something. He just didn't know what from exactly. After a trip to the doctor he sets off on a mission to find out who is soulmate is.

Bits of You on Me by eafay70

Three times Jake's soulmate left him injured, and one time Jake was the one to blame.

CALGARY FLAMES

Johnny Gaudreau/Matthew Tkachuk

sealed with a kiss by iknewhim

“You want me,” Chucky drawls, “To kiss you for hockey.”

Elias Lindholm/David Rittich

We’ve Come Too Far, To Give Up Who We Are by Aer

David’s life has taken more than a few twists and turns over the years, but he’s always been able to see them coming, to some extent.

He never would have seen Elias coming in a million years.

COLORADO AVALANCHE

Tyson Barrie/Tyson Jost

soft shines through by somehowunbroken

Defensemen have to marry forwards. It's a rule, and Tyson's been putting it off for longer than he should've, and now he needs to marry someone before the season starts or he won't be able to play.

Enter Tyson Jost.

J. T. Compher/Tyson Jost/Alexander Kerfoot; J. T. Compher/Tyson Jost

no regrets, just love by ancientdeceiver

The kiss, in the end, is just one friend helping out another friend.

Tyson Jost/Colin Wilson

bring your good times and your laughter too by somehowunbroken

Sure, the stuffed pink rabbit and balloons had been funny, but it's Tyson's birthday. Colin's maybe in the mood to give him whatever he asks for.

DALLAS STARS

Miro Heiskanen/Roope Hintz

round one, round two by ghosthunter

“Are you nervous?” Miro asks, reaching out and tugging Roope’s thumb from between his lips.

“Are you not?” Roope asks him, his voice quiet. Miro grins at him.

(maybe it's the finnish summer) got me seeing stars when I'm with you by up_and_away

After they get eliminated, Miro can't bring himself to go home and face his parents' sympathy. He goes home with Roope instead, and finds a way to exhale.

keep it subliminal by carissima

Miro smothers a yawn and opens his door. Roope’s standing there with two coffees and an expression that matches his own mood.

when it hits you by carissima

And that’s the precise moment he realizes that he may, in fact, have a Miro-sized problem.

MINNESOTA WILD

Mikko Koivu/Zach Parise

You Know My Words (Look Up the Name) by sleeperservice

Zach's soulmark shows up during his rookie season after a game against the Wild. Nobody told him it would take years to find out who else had one show up that night.

NEW JERSEY DEVILS

Taylor Hall/Nico Hischier/Jack Hughes

I won't hesitate for you by theshipstorulethemallwrites

To be 29 years old, made the playoffs once and be a virgin was not in plans for Taylor Hall. Neither was falling for his, much, younger teammates. Yes, there's a plural in that last word, stop judging.

NEW YORK ISLANDERS

Mikhail Grabovski/Nikolay Kulemin

Windows by blueorangecrush

Kolya's grandmother used to say that dreams were windows into other worlds.

Anders Lee/Devon Toews

I’m on your clock, you’re in control by Mooresomore

"Breaking up is hard to do...especially when you're not out to the team and you can't let anyone know about it (or that it's over). It really sucks too when you still want the person, but they want nothing to do with you." Mat had never thought those words would apply to him, but here he was.

NEW YORK RANGERS

Brady Skjei/Jimmy Vesey

we’re never gonna win the world by skjei

Jimmy doesn’t want to die.

(or, jimmy vesey signs with the new york rangers and his live changes more than it ever has).

PHILADELPHIA FLYERS

Carter Hart/Nolan Patrick/Travis Konecny

Hens and Chicks by Hock_hug

Travis Konecny can’t make coffee

Carter Hart/Claude Giroux/Danny Briere

Shining bright to see what you could truly be by Mooresomore

Just a fluffy look into the life of Carter, Claude, Danny, and their family.

Travis Konecny/Nolan Patrick

dumbasses in love by andersens

“So, I talked to Lawson, and it turns out he does think we’re dating.”

“I told you,” Nolan says.

“Yeah and see the thing is, I was gonna tell him he’s wrong. But then he started going on and on about how proud of me he is and how happy. And he was looking at me with his stupid Lawson face with his stupid Lawson smile and I just...I couldn’t tell him he was wrong.”

say that you're into me, let me know how it'll be (if you don't know, just say so) by haruspexes

Really, the wedding is the thing that sets it all off. Someone self-aware might say it started way before the wedding but Travis has always been a little suspicious about that whole know-thyself thing. So, it starts on an otherwise unremarkable Tuesday afternoon.

***

“Anyways, you know I’m the best wedding date you could get on such short notice,” Travis fires off. It’s a pretty weak chirp, but the chance to say something is just too good to pass up.

“Yeah.” Nolan nods where Travis was half expecting him to argue.

take down some summer time by manybumblebees

Summer is lake days and fishing and coolers full of beer, the boat kicking up spray in its wake, and Nolan coming to stand next to him on the deck in his too-short shorts, holding his forearm next to TK’s and complaining about his Irish skin, which burns and freckles but never tans.

Or: summer makes TK stupid.

trouble's gonna follow (where i go) by carissima

The first thing Travis learns about Nolan is that he can’t tie a fucking tie.

Travis Konecny/Nolan Patrick; Carter Hart/Nolan Patrick; Carter Hart/Travis Konecny/Nolan Patrick; Lawson Crouse/Travis Konecny; Nico Hischier/Nolan Patrick

kiss me & take off your clothes by ghosthunter

“You’re so sexy in the morning, God,” TK says.

“I’m sexy all the time,” Nolan says. “That’s why I make the big bucks.”

SAN JOSE SHARKS

Tomas Hertl/Tommy Wingels

blame it, blame it by frausorge

Olive juice? That sounds disgusting.

TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING

Anthony Cirelli/Mikhail Sergachev

Once Smitten by verbaeghe

It isn’t that Tony’s expecting Misha to already be in their dorm room when he arrives per se, it’s just. Well, it’s junior year, classes start tomorrow, and Misha still hasn’t managed an on-time arrival yet. At least he’s consistent.

A Tale of Courtship by Sugarchev, verbaeghe

“Marriage,” King Anton repeats to a slack-jawed Tony. “The council agrees, it’s time we secure our alliances.”

The King’s cabinet falls silent. Stamkos purses his lips, while Victor pretends to notice something out the window. Cally and McDonagh glue their eyes to the tactical map sprawled across the table and Misha…he should sit down before his legs give out.

Anthony Cirelli/Mikhail Sergachev; Braydon Coburn/Slater Koekkoek

How to Train Your Partner 101 by darkone

Tony’s previous partner retired a month ago and he’s been anxiously awaiting a new one. He’s tired of going on missions with other well established teams because it makes him feel like a third wheel.

Braydon Coburn/Slater Koekkoek

Yours by Lecavayay

He takes Slater’s wrist, holds it to his lips like the name there is his and not some other Braydon waiting for the man in his bed to find him.

Tyler Johnson/Ondrej Palat

The Playboy of Central New York by blueorangecrush

Tyler just wanted to be a semi-anonymous graduate student, not the funder of a biotech startup with his old money inheritance.

He thought he'd meet a girl who didn't know or care about his money. He was wrong about the "girl" part.

Cedric Paquette/Louis Domingue; Alex Killorn/Andrej Sustr; Jake Dotchin/Yanni Gourde

I Could Stay Here Forever by TylerAndAlexAndCeddyOhMy

Ceddy and Louis were fall in love while studying abroad

“We should go to Italy!” Yanni yelled.

“You just want to sleep with Italian guys,” Louis groaned. “We should go to France. The museums! Imagine all the history!”

“Yeah! Because there is ZERO fucking history in ITALY, you huge fucking moron,” Yanni yelled at Louis.

“You aren’t even interested in history! You’re interested in dick!” Louis countered.

“Yes,” Yanni screamed stomping toward his room. “Big Italian dick!” With that he slammed his door.

TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS

Frederik Andersen/Auston Matthews/Morgan Rielly

Filled Up by eyeslikeonyx

When Auston pictured going on vacation with Freddie and Mo during the bye week, he was expecting to have fun in their hotel room, obviously. He knows Mitch is most likely getting railed on his own trip with Marty and Cees if the suggestive snaps from the night before are any indicator. Auston has been waiting for this trip for a while now, and he’s excited to finally relax and get some much needed sun. He doesn’t want to just have sex the entire time he’s on vacation.

He should have known his body would betray him the moment he, Mo, and Freddie actually made it to their resort suite.

Kyle Dubas/William Nylander

The Lace in Your Dress by elenajames

There’s a garment box on their bed when Willy gets home.

You’re my golden hour by mozartspiano

Kyle's condo is terrible. William helps him find a house.

This One’s For You by theshipstorulethemallwrites

Since his father’s death in a classified military accident, William Nylander has always had a nagging feeling in the back of his mind that he could be more. And then he gets in trouble in a way that he can’t get out of.

Enter Kingsman

Enter Kyle Dubas

I Hope You Lie by dizzzylu

"You think that we don't notice?" William asks. "How you take care of us, how you take the blame for us. We notice, Kyle. I notice."

Nazem Kadri/Mitch Marner; Nazem Kadri/Mitch Marner/John Tavares

Knights by eden22

London Knights are always proprietary with each other.

Mitch Marner/John Tavares

A Monster Under the Bed by eyeslikeonyx

On the morning of November 9, 1973, Good Hope Sheriff John Tavares is the third man to pull up to the banks of Lake Perry where a body has been found. Principal Patrick Marleau of Good Hope High School was the first, and Deputy Sheriff Morgan Reilly was the second.

Mitch Marner/William Nylander

You Brought Out The Best In Me by Bluejay141519

Mitch is the sun and Willy's been in the shadows since the day Mitch was drafted. That doesn't mean he loves Mitch any less.

William Nylander/Andreas Johnsson

facts of life (it’s i and love and you) by florabee

some things change and some things don't. the most set-in-stone fact in andreas's life is this: he loves willy and willy loves him

VANCOUVER CANUCKS

Brock Boeser/Elias Pettersson

boy with love by lilcrickee

“Oh no,” Brock murmurs, the reality of the situation sinking in. It’s 11 o’clock in the middle of the offseason and he’s holding a baby. The baby is his. Brock is 22 and has a baby and the mother has run off to work on a cruise ship.

Elias Pettersson/Jacob Markstrom

Waiting Tied and Bound by Sister_Grimm

Jacob knows exactly how to take Elias apart every time

WINNIPEG JETS

Nikolaj Ehlers/Patrik Laine

make my heart sparkle like champagne by softEldritch (assbutts)

Hey, Niky,” he says slowly, enunciating it carefully so he doesn’t somehow mess up the words, “what if we do get married this summer?”

Turns out there’s a lot more to a wedding than just showing up, saying a few words and putting on some rings.

Adam Lowry/Brandon Tanev

while all his body trembled by onlypartly (foreverkneeld)

(407): It's very finicky. Like baking. or BDSM.

mixer attachments by snailmailed

“It’s a KitchenAid. You have the same one. Are you feeling okay?” He added when Brandon continued to stare at his brand new mixer.

Brandon blinked. “Yeah dude, I know what it is.”

“Okay well it didn’t seem like -”

“I know what it is! Obviously.” Brandon huffed.

(Adam buys his own KitchenAid, Brandon doesn't take it well.)

FORMER/INTERNATIONAL TEAMMATES

Nazem Kadri/James Van Riemsdyk

hit me with that by landofpromise

Nazem isn’t sure what to think when James’ name appears on his screen.

Mathew Barzal/Thomas Chabot

careless with my heart again by aimerai

Mat looks at Chabby, actually looks at him, and wants to kiss him. This is not a new thought, nor is it particularly damning. Mat wants to make him fall apart, and that’s fine, too. But wanting to smooth out the faint wrinkle of his brow and uncoil the tension from his shoulders is a line he can’t cross. Wanting Chabby to go back to the person he was when he was asleep, carefree, is not something he is allowed. Staying the night was a detour; staying in bed was a mistake, and yet, Mat can’t bring himself to regret it. Some things are an inevitability; this may not be one of them, but Mat thinks he’d have chosen to land here anyway. Even if it’s going to hurt, even as he’s trying to pull himself out of one of the biggest hurts he’s ever had.

Anthony Cirelli/Taylor Raddysh

It Started Out With a Kiss (Or: How It Ended Up Like This) by love_stella

“Who was that?” Misha asks, cutting him off.

“It was no one, don’t worry about it,” Tony tries to say, knowing damn well it’s going to be impossible to get them to stop now that they’ve started.

“No no no, that wasn’t no one,” Misha says, “You don’t just walk up and kiss no one.”

Anthony Cirelli/Taylor Raddysh/Mitchell Stephens

Magnolia by love_stella

What catches his eye is a hint of blue floating around the water, but before he can reach his hand in to check he’s hit with another coughing fit, only this time he’s able to catch most of the petals in his palms so he can inspect them to make sure his eyes aren’t tricking him. Surely enough, Taylor didn’t even cough up any of Tony’s flower this time, the petals he’s holding are shorter and a pale blue that Taylor might find beautiful if they didn’t just come out of his lungs.

Eric Comrie/Chase De Leo

Trying To Get That Feeling Again by Mooresomore

Chase and Eric had been together and things were perfect. What happened when Chase got traded to the Ducks changed all that. Can they find what was missing?

Dante Fabbro/Tyson Jost

all these songs of love by somehowunbroken

Dante's an aspiring musician, so he'll take whatever help he can get, including a boy in

his dreams who helps him write his music. Everything's going fine until he looks up during a show and sees that boy in the crowd.

Alexandre Fortin/Jeremy Lauzon/Philippe Myers

this doesn’t look that much different from home by aimerai

Alex is born somewhere between a hope and a dream, made more of magic than of DNA. He’s not quite a changeling child, but the first time he watches Pinocchio, he cries and cries and can’t stop, until he feels like he’s going to throw up with each hitching breath. It feels too similar, and he’s always known what he is.

Or, the moments that make a homecoming.

Marcus Johansson/Evgeny Kuznetsov

putting broken pieces back in place by ghosthunter

“Evgeny Evgenyvich,” the stranger says.

“Huh?” Zhenya asks, confused. He stops to look up into the black space where a face should be.

“What would you give,” the stranger asks.

“For what?” Zhenya asks. He considers continuing walking, but he can’t. He considers running, but he can’t do that either. He thinks these things, but his body won’t do them.

“For what you want,” the stranger says to him.

Auston Matthews/Patrick Kane

Half in the shadows, half burned in flames by Caivallon

Between night and day. In this strange endless twilight between yesterday and tomorrow when everything is possible.

They have played a game. A tempting and thrilling game.

Nathan MacKinnon/Mitch Marner

Pine your way to China by Aderam

In which our hero is surprisingly good at talking about it, but not to the right person.

AKA hockey boys are dumb, but we like them anyway.

William Nylander/David Pastrnak

Love and Marriage by blindbatalex

“Yeah I got married and didn’t tell any of you,” David deadpans before it’s too late, finally able to form words, and there is a moment when it goes so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

WOMEN’S HOCKEY

Taylor Crosby/Amanda Kessel

run it, run it (like a girl) by ghosthunter

Hockey analysts will make a rivalry out of anything. And if it’s not the analysts, then it’s the media. All they really had in common was they went to the same school and play the same sport.

OTHERS

Leon Draisaitl/Connor McDavid/Dylan Strome

ain't nothing like them summer nights by liroa15

Connor's got one boyfriend for home and one boyfriend for away, and somehow they're all making it work. Together. Away from it all.

Alexander Ovechkin/Tyler Seguin; Nicklas Backstrom/Tyler Seguin

Icebreaker by myrthrilmercury

Throughout the league, Alexander Ovechkin is known as "Icebreaker" for his prowess at training the brattiest and most stubborn subs. His latest assignment is to transform the rude, rebellious Tyler Seguin into an obedient submissive willing to do anything commanded.

Sidney Crosby/Travis Konecny; Sidney Crosby & Marc-Andre Fleury

Forever in a Minute by elenajames

Sid lets the league send an alpha match for his heat, and he's not prepared for who they pick.

okay so i got curious about other players we could have drafted because i like pain and what ifs so here goes, and yes i included some people who aren’t the best with points but i love them so i don’t care 🤷🏻‍♀️also this is so long i’m so sorry

2009: We drafted Scott Glennie, Alex Chiasson, and Reilly Smith

We could have drafted Ryan O’Reilly, Kyle Palmieri, Tomas Tatar, Tyson Barrie, Anders Lee, Michael Latta

2010: We drafted Jack Campbell, Patrik Nemeth, Alexander Guptill, Alex Theriau, John Klingberg ⭐️

We could have drafted Vladimir Tarasenko, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Tyler Pitlick (I mean we have him now but still), Brendan Gallagher, Frederik Andersen, Zach Hyman

2011: We drafted Jamie Oleksiak, Brett Ritchie, Emil Molin, Troy Vance, Matej Stransky, Jyrki Jokipakka we made extra bad choices this year

We could have drafted William Karlsson, Nikita Kucherov, Vincent Trocheck, Johnny Gaudreau, Andrew Shaw

2012: We drafted Radek Faksa, Ludvig Bystrom, Mike Winther, Devin Shore, Esa Lindell, Gemel Smith, Branden Troock, Henri Kiviaho, Dmitry Sinitsyn

We could have drafted Tom Wilson, Tomas Hertl, Teuvo Teravainen, once again Frederik Andersen, Alexander Kerfoot, Christian Djoos

2013: We drafted Valeri Nichushkin, Jason Dickinson, Remi Elie, Niklas Hansson, Nick Paul, Cole Ully

We could have drafted Nikita Zadorov, Andre Burakovsky, J.T. Compher, Ryan Graves, fuck Max Domi

2014: We drafted Julius Honka, Brett Pollock, Alexander Peters, Michael Prapavessis, Brent Moran, Miro Karjalainen, Aaron Haydon, John Nyberg, Patrick Sanvido

We could have drafted Dylan Larkin, Nick Schmaltz, Kasperi Kapanen, David Pastrnak, Christian Dvorak, Brayden Point

2015: We drafted Denis Guryanov, Roope Hintz, Chris Martenet, Joseph Cecconi, Markus Ruusu

We could have drafted Mat Barzal, Brock Boeser, Travis Konecny, Anthony Beauvillier, Sebastian Aho

2016: We drafted Riley Tufte, Fredrik Karlstrom, Rhett Gardner, Colton Point, Nicholas Caamano, Jakob Stenqvist

We could have drafted Alex DeBrincat, Sam Girard, Carter Hart (We had some pretty low spots this year so there wasn’t much leftover for us to choose from tbh)

Okay so I’m not going to bother with the 2017 and 2018 drafts mainly because they were so recent it’s hard to know who is going to be a regret because honestly a lot of them aren’t even playing NHL level yet. I will say though that 2017 we could have drafted Elias Pettersson but we chose Miro Heiskanen instead, which honestly I don’t see as a regret I think it was a good choice but I thought it was something to mention

2020 Stanley Cup Playoff Preview

Playoff hockey is finally upon us, and it’s returning in a big way with an all-new 24 team format. Here are my series predictions:

(5) Pittsburgh Penguins vs. (12) Montreal Canadiens

This series is one of the more intriguing in the play-in round, despite being one of the most lopsided on paper. The Canadiens simply cannot match the high-end talent of the Penguins roster, which will be boosted by a healthy Jake Guentzel. The Canadiens must slow down the Penguins top players and grind them down over the course of the series, much like the Islanders did when they swept the Penguins last spring. The biggest X-factor of the series is goalie Carey Price, as he has the ability to steal high pressure games. Having Max Domi in the lineup would also greatly benefit the Habs.

Prediction: Penguins in four

(6) Carolina Hurricanes vs. (11) New York Rangers

This could be one of the more tightly contested match-ups in the play-in round, as neither club holds the distinct edge. Starting with offence, the Rangers have plenty of it, spearheaded by MVP nominee Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejad. The back end is also very involved, featuring rookie Adam Fox. The Hurricanes take more of a scoring by committee approach, as the offence is well spread through the lines, although this isn’t to discount the threat of their top line of Sebastian Aho, Teuvo Teravainen and Andrei Svechnikov. When taking a look on defence, this is where the Hurricanes pull ahead of the Rangers. The Hurricanes back end is the deepest in the entire east, even after parting with Justin Faulk. They are a tough group that doesn’t give an inch to opponents. The Rangers, on the other hand, aren’t nearly as defensively sound, but they are effective puck movers that can contribute offensively. Goaltending is an interesting question for the Rangers, as they have the choice of putting longtime goalie Henrik Lundqvist between the pipes, or hand the crease over to newcomer Igor Shesterkin, who posted vastly superior numbers over a short span. In Carolina, Petr Mrazek is the man, and the Canes are hoping Mrazek can shake off his mediocre season and return to his 2019 playoff form, where his play helped the Canes to a Conference Final berth. Overall, the edge has to go to Carolina, as they have the fresh experience of last postseason, while the Rangers are new to the game with a relatively young team.

Prediction: Hurricanes in five

(7) New York Islanders vs. (10) Florida Panthers

The Islanders meet the Panthers in what might be the least regarded series of the playoffs. This may be attributed to the general consensus that the Islanders aren’t a very exciting team to watch. They are a defence-first club that doesn’t score many goals and doesn’t feature any game breakers other than Matthew Barzal and even he has experienced a decline in points due to the style of play under coach Barry Trotz. However, this is a team that is very tough to play against, especially in playoff hockey, capable of shutting down star-studded teams (see 2019 Pittsburgh Penguins). Thus, it will be interesting to see if the Panthers array of offensive weapons can penetrate the Islanders armour, as well as the stellar combo of Thomas Greiss and Semyon Varlamov. Jonathan Huberdeau and Aleksander Barkov have yet to prove their playoff mettle, so it will be challenging facing the Islanders shutdown style. The Panthers do hold a secret trick up their sleeve in Sergei Bobrovsky, who will likely dictate the direction this Panthers team goes in this series. As he has shown last year, he can go lights out and when he does, he is the best goaltender in the world. Unfortunately, this hasn’t been the case for the majority of the past season. Bobrovsky holds the keys to the Panthers fortunes.

Prediction: Islanders in four

(8) Toronto Maple Leafs vs. (9) Columbus Blue Jackets

Explosive offence meets shut-down defence. This has been the common narrative being written for this series between the Leafs and Jackets. Will the Leafs young guns overwhelm the Jackets, or will the disciplined Columbus defence stymie the Leafs? The Leafs have the better team on paper, possessing elite scoring power. The firepower of their top six is unmatched league-wide. Obviously, their struggles are on the back-end where they are famous for making plenty of mistakes in front of Frederik Andersen, who endured his worst season as a Leaf. He has to return much better than he was, especially if the Leafs defence isn’t any better. The Leafs must fully commit to the game and play cohesive team hockey, matching their skill with will. This is the Blue Jackets bread and butter, as they make up for their offensive shortcomings by rarely making mistakes and capitalising on other teams mistakes, a perfect style to play against the Leafs. The Leafs must adopt some of the grit and determination from the Jackets if they are to survive. Another strength for the Jackets is in the crease, where Joonas Korpisalo and rookie Elvis Merzlikins have come together to form one of the most unlikely success stories of the year. Columbus can feel confident in these two options, and the upside of Merzlikins is huge, as he can get very hot. With the right attitude and tweaks to their defensive game, the Leafs should overpower the Jackets, but keep in mind what happened last spring with Columbus.

Prediction: Leafs in five

(5) Edmonton Oilers vs. (12) Chicago Blackhawks

The Oilers enter these playoffs boasting the top two offensive forces in the world in Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, automatically making them the heavy favourites in this series against an aging Blackhawks team who clearly did not expect to be in a playoff position. On paper, the Oilers are better and deeper at every position. The Oilers have no problem scoring, further evidenced by the top power play conversion rate in the NHL. Their defence isn’t spectacular but functional, surely better than the Hawks blueline that bleeds chances in front of Corey Crawford, who has been marred by injuries and inconsistency. Crawford must provide excellent goaltending for the Blackhawks to move on, a big ask at this point. At the other end, Mikko Koskinen must merely be average for the Oilers, who do a fine job protecting him from opposing teams. Koskinen does have plenty of KHL playoff experience. The largest X-factor for the Hawks is the playoff experience of Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, who have done it all to this point. These are clutch performers who can easily change the tide of games, but the help from below is lacking, with a lack of scoring punch. It’s the Oilers series to lose, but don’t be shocked if the Hawks topple them on the strength of their core leaders.

Prediction: Oilers in four

(6) Nashville Predators vs. (11) Arizona Coyotes

One of the major storylines heading into this series is goaltending. Jusse Saros finally overthrew Pekka Rinne as top dog in the Nashville crease, lifting the Preds from the Central division basement. The Coyotes are no slouch in the goaltending department, boasting arguably the best tandem in the NHL in Darcy Kuemper and Antti Raanta. The Coyotes success begins and ends with their goalies. Should Kuemper go down, the Coyotes are comfortable with their luxury 1B backup. Coincidentally, both of these teams struggle to score, with a lack of star power in Nashville, while the Coyotes star names have taken on more defensive responsibility at the cost of offensive production. The Coyotes still have the edge though, thanks to the proven playoff prowess of Phil Kessel, in addition to Hart winner Taylor Hall, who is capable of dominating games. The Preds need Matt Duchene to contribute more like a first-line center if they are to go deep in these playoffs. At this stage however, the Coyotes possess more upside on offence.

Prediction: Coyotes in five

(7) Vancouver Canucks vs. (10) Minnesota Wild

This is a match up between two teams in very different places, as the Canucks are nearing the completion of a rebuild, while the Wild have exited their prime playoff years.The Wild hold the edge defensively, especially when considering the two-way buy-in of the forward group. This is a veteran team that can lock down defensively to protect a lead. The offence, on the other hand, enters the play-in round as one of the weakest. Breakout star Kevin Fiala was the only Wild player remotely close to a point-per-game pace. This is where the Canucks will look to flex their muscles, as they boast a deep offence capable of scoring in bunches, led by young star Elias Pettersson. It will be interesting to see if the inexperience of this young core is a factor in the series. Goaltending is also a strength, as goalie Jacob Markstrom is coming off a phenomenal season that earned him consideration for the Vezina. The Wild crease is less certain, as Devan Dubnyk turned in a disappointing year, perhaps opening the door for a less experienced netminder to take the reins for the playoffs. Despite the uncertainty, the Wild net should be well insulated.

Prediction: Wild in five

(8) Calgary Flames vs. (9) Winnipeg Jets

The Jets and Flames enter this postseason much farther down the standings than last spring, thanks to lackluster seasons. Both teams could benefit from the long pause and turn the tables come playoff time. It wasn’t long ago that the Jets were a perennial cup contender and they still have the same core intact, minus Dustin Byfuglien. Also, Connor Hellebuyck was just nominated for the Vezina and if he continues his play, there is no limit for this team. They have an elite offence with names like Patrik Laine, Kyle Connor, Mark Scheifele, and Blake Wheeler and while they aren’t spectacular defensively, they are serviceable. The Flames also have good forward depth, but there is concern regarding Johnny Gaudreau and his ability to perform in the playoffs where physicality is more of a factor. The Flames need their top players to step up. Another cause for concern is in the crease, which featured David Rittich and Cam Talbot. Rittich struggled mightily, while Talbot posted a .919 save percentage in 26 appearances. The Flames won’t have much time to waste figuring out who their man is before they find themselves knocked out.

Prediction: Jets in four
