NHL 2021-2022 Season Predictions

The start to the new season is just around the corner, as we are excited to watch our favorite team hit the ice again this year.

With the expansion of the league with the Seattle Kraken, we get to see the first 32 team NHL season.

Will Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews have another incredible season as superstars of this league? Last year was a different year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it will be good for Hockey to have more of a normal season this year.

Here are our season predictions for the NHL this year.

(WC) = Wild card (NP) = no playoff
