The pundits and the prognosticators can’t seem to agree on which teams will eke into the playoffs from the Pacific Division this season, but most agree that it’s a two-horse race for the title.
The staff at ESPN was mostly split between the Calgary Flames and the Edmonton Oilers, with the Oilers receiving 16 of 29 votes and the Flames receiving 10. The Vegas Golden Knights got two votes from the ESPN crew, while the Los Angeles Kings received one.
Meanwhile, the writers at Sportsnet are evenly split between Edmonton and Calgary.
