I am notoriously bad at predicting first round matchups. I think my all time record predicting the winner is about 50%, and it's even lower if I predict the number of games.
Whatever, this is just for fun anyway.
NYR vs. Washington: Rangers in 5
Florida vs. Tampa Bay: Panthers in 6
Carolina vs. NYI: Hurricanes in 5
Boston vs. Toronto: Bruins in 7
Dallas vs. Vegas: Stars in 7 (Best 1st round series...I'll be watching this one closely)
Vancouver vs. Nashville: Canucks in 6
Winnipeg vs. Colorado: Jets in 5
Edmonton vs. L.A.: Oilers in 4 (I hate myself for typing that)
That's right, I'm taking the higher team in the standing for each one. I'm sure I'll only get half of them right, but which half???
