After a six-month, 82-game-per-team grind, the NHL regular season is finally behind us, giving way to the time of year that fans look forward to from the opening faceoff: the Stanley Cup playoffs.
It's an exciting time in particular for fans of the NHL's 16 surviving teams, in large part because anything can happen. Recent history has definitively shown that any team can win a playoff series, and, at times, even a 3-0 series lead isn't enough to guarantee advancement. Even a team that barely squeaked into the postseason, such as the 2012 Los Angeles Kings, can go the distance and secure a championship.
Who will win it all this year? We don't have a crystal ball, and we've just observed that anything can happen, but the following slideshow helps set the scene for the postseason by assigning odds to all 16 teams. Read on to see where each club ranks.
