My picks:

Hurricanes in 6

Top goalie (save %): Frederik Andersen
Team scoring 6 goals: Stars
Team shutout: Hurricanes

The Stars are putting on a show in every series. As good as they have been, Jake Oettinger is the biggest reason they are in the conference finals again.

FYI, in round 1, I was not given the 10 points for Edmondton winning.

I, strangely, did get the 2 points for the number of games. Lol

NoMich, doesn't the winner of a NJ vs CAR series always make the finals?
