The simulation projects Boston to defeat the Washington Capitals, Pittsburgh Penguins in the first two rounds of the playoffs, and then the Carolina Hurricanes in the Stanley Cup Semifinals before a full seven-game series win against the Golden Knights in the Final.
It would be the Bruins second trip to the Stanley Cup Final in the past three seasons (they lost to the St. Louis Blues in 2019), but their first title since 2011.
The simulation projected a slew of upsets other than the Bruins' run, including the Blues topping the Colorado Avalanche in the Stanley Cup First Round and the Edmonton Oilers defeating the Scotia North regular-season champion Toronto Maple Leafs in the Stanley Cup Second Round.
