It sounds sort of redundant when I am typing it, but the teams that have made the most of the opportunities have done the best. At a micro level, teams that bury their chances, convert their power plays, and take advantage of weird bounces have done well. Similarly, the best teams have risen to the occasion when they have faced adversity. The Blues are an excellent example of this, likewise, the Avalanche also did let poor stretches of hockey determine their season.
