Your provisional season order
Only teams in your completed duels are shown. More linked duels make the order more stable.
Why this order?
Each choice gives one team a head-to-head edge. DuelPredict ranks the largest connected group, then uses your original team order only to break exact ties. Extra duels connect more teams and make the result more stable.

How the 2026-27 NHL season predictor works
Build your 2026-27 NHL season prediction across 32 NHL teams. Every predictor receives the same 48 official duels; optional extra duels can refine the season order without changing the official Duel Rating.
The team that advances further in the Stanley Cup Playoffs wins each settled duel. If both clubs finish at the same stage, the better regular-season result is the tiebreaker; an exact tie is a push.
Free season-prediction game. No betting, money, or prizes.
Official matchup preview
NHL prediction card preview
No winner is prefilled. These official head-to-head questions are the card you answer to build your 2026-27 NHL prediction.
- Official duel 1 Minnesota Wild Vancouver Canucks
- Official duel 2 Los Angeles Kings Minnesota Wild
- Official duel 3 Los Angeles Kings Pittsburgh Penguins
- Official duel 4 Dallas Stars Pittsburgh Penguins
- Official duel 5 Chicago Blackhawks Dallas Stars
- Official duel 6 Chicago Blackhawks Edmonton Oilers
Hypothetical example
Edmonton Oilers vs Vancouver Canucks
Suppose you pick the Edmonton Oilers. If Edmonton reaches the Western Conference Final and Vancouver exits in the First Round, your pick wins because Edmonton went further. Vancouver having more regular-season points would not reverse that outcome.
An illustration of the rules, not a forecast or a guaranteed official pairing.
What if both teams finish at the same stage?
For NHL clubs at the same playoff stage, compare regular-season points percentage: points earned divided by points available. A win earns two points and an overtime or shootout loss earns one. Identical percentages produce a push.
Season timing and entry deadline
The 2026-27 season prediction covers the regular season and the Stanley Cup Playoffs that follow in 2027.
Official and extra picks lock at the first regular-season game. After the deadline, saved cards remain available for read-only review.
What does your season order mean?
Your NHL season order is a ranking derived from your head-to-head choices, not a projected win-loss record or a playoff bracket. It starts with teams connected by your completed duels. More linked picks can make that provisional order more stable; they do not guarantee a forecast is correct. Only decided official duels affect your Duel Rating.
