It’s the time of the year when you hope your Stanley Cup futures pick – or picks – will be a permanent fixture throughout the NHL playoffs, similar to the imprint of your backside on the couch while tuned into the best show on Earth.
In a sports world saturated with analytics, we’re here to help you decide which stats to base your Stanley Cup predictions on ahead of the NHL postseason.
With the Stanley Cup odds acting as your North Star, I found some commonalities and trends several Cup-winning teams excelled at over the past few seasons and utilized them to showcase where the favorites stand in the statistical pecking order.
Stanley Cup odds via our best sports betting sites, updated in real time.
I found commonalities among the Stanley Cup winners from the past four seasons – the Tampa Bay Lightning, Colorado Avalanche, Vegas Golden Knights, and Florida Panthers. The below 10 stats are ranked in descending order, with scoring first win % as the most important. 
No Cup-winning team finished with a scoring first win % ranking below fourth. 
It turns out the 2021-22 Stanley Cup-winning Golden Knights weren’t a statistically sound team. While I’m sure nobody in Sin City could care less about the analytics after their team lifted the Holy Grail in its sixth season, they had the worst ranking in four of 10 categories.
The 2021-22 Avalanche is as close to a flawless statistical team as you’ll find. They didn’t finish outside the top 10 in any of the featured categories, finishing in the top five six times.
