Last year, 52 points was enough to win the pick ‘em. This year, we already have a few who are halfway to that total through just the first round.
The turnaround from the first to the second round is always tough, and moreso this year because the Hurricanes are sitting and waiting to see who they’ll play come Wednesday. However, since two other second-round series start on Tuesday, we’re opening the second round pick ‘em early so that you have a chance to make your picks without too much of a time crunch.
Here are the standings (for now) for the first round, to be updated on Tuesday after the Rangers/Devils game is complete tonight:
