Which 2024-25 NHL Predictions Missed the Mark—and Which Could Shock You with Their Accuracy?
Tier 6: Correct, but only vaguely impressive
Vegas Golden Knights
I noted that the Golden Knights had gone a league-worst 0-5-0 in 2023-24 in games in which they had exactly three days’ rest, then predicted they’d win both of the two such games they had in October. They did, beating the Kings 6-1 and then using a late third-period comeback to beat the Senators.
Tier 7: Correct, and moderately impressive
Edmonton Oilers
I predicted Leon Draisaitl would win the Rocket Richard, despite the oddsmakers having Auston Matthews as a prohibitive favorite. He did, and it wasn’t all that close, with Draisaitl’s 52 goals putting him a comfortable seven ahead of runner-up William Nylander.
