The first round of the 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs is almost complete, with a Game 7 remaining Sunday night to decide the Dallas Stars vs. Vegas Golden Knights clash.

Three of the four matchups are set, which means it's time for another set of predictions from the reporters, analysts and broadcasters of the ESPN hockey family!

Note: Picks for the Central Division series between the Colorado Avalanche and either the Dallas Stars or Vegas Golden Knights will be added here when that matchup is finalized.
