Does TheHockeyPool's Strength Chart Predict Anything For The Playoffs?
As discussed in our previous blog, TheHockeyPool.com's unique Strength Chart compares the record of every NHL team against only the strongest teams in each conference in order to see how teams are performing. It does not take into account any games against teams in the lower half of each Conference because those points may come a little easier than those points earned against, say, a team that is on it's way to the Presidents' Trophy.

But, does it actually help you in advance of the playoffs?
Well, I think the answer is a qualified YES! That is, it's not a completely accurate predictor (unfortunately) but it can, on average, help you focus on teams that will perform better in the playoffs, and avoid teams that have a poorer performance against stronger teams.
Methodology
To determine if there is value to the Strength Charts, we've reviewed what TheHockeyPool's Strength Chart showed us for every season since 2014 when the current wild card playoff format was adopted by the NHL.
Our goal here is to see if it shows which teams to draft from, and which to avoid. We ignored the much-delayed 2020 Playoffs and the odd 2021 Covid-bubble tournament as we felt their results were skewed - Teams entered the 2020 playoffs after a shortened season and a months-long break, and two Eastern teams (in fact both of them in the Atlantic Division!) met in the cup final in 2021.
The FULL charts are below if you want to do your own analysis. I've color coded them so it's a bit easier (I HOPE!) to see at a glance how teams performed in the playoffs compared to their Strength ranking. Grey teams didn't make the playoffs. Teams highlighted in red were eliminated in the first round (so they would have been bad teams to draft from, we presume). Teams in yellow were eliminated in the second round. And teams that made it to the Conference Finals are not hightlighted at all and left with white backgrounds.
My presumption is that drafting from the Conference finalists gives you the best chance of winning your pool since the players on these teams will play more games, and thus, presumably, score more points. Wether that is true or not, we'll delve into in our next blog!
Okay, now with the pre-amble out of the way, what do we see?
Does the Strength Ranking work better than the NHL's Playoff Seed Ranking?
First, we note that playoff seeding (NHL Standings) and TheHockeyPool's Strength ranking do not always correlate. Highly seeded teams will, at times, have poor records against the top 8 teams in each Conference, and visa-versa.
All aggregate stats below are all from analysing the 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, 2023, and 2024 playoffs (9 seasons). In doing so, we found:
Teams eliminated in Round 1 have an average Strength ranking of 6.3, while the average playoff seed ranking was 4.9 (1.4 rank better prediction for the Strength chart).
Teams eliminated in Round 2 have an average Strength ranking of 4.3, while the average seed was 3.6 (0.7 better prediction for the Strength chart).
Teams that make the Conference Finals have an average Strength ranking of 3.8, while the average seed was 2.9 (0.9 better prediction for the Strength chart).
Keep in mind that a "higher" seed/ranking number equates to a lower power ranking (i.e. the strongest team is #1, the weakest is #16).
This means that on average TheHockeyPool's Strength Chart has been about a single ranking position better at predicting playoff performance than the NHL's playoff seeding.
The strongest outcome was in predicting round 1 eliminations. A lower ranking in the Strength Chart was a better predictor for round 1 losses than the teams' Playoff Seed Ranking.
Does Strength Ranking Indicate Playoff Success?
Another good indicator to look at is the fate of teams that made the playoffs, but that TheHockeyPool's Strength Chart ranked low. Essentially asking the question, 'Does a low Strength Chart ranking correlate to a higher chance of losing early in the playoffs?'.
Of the 30 teams that made the playoffs from 2014 through 2024 that were ranked 8 or lower on the Strength Chart (that is, they were in the bottom 8 of the Strength Chart) only 9 made it past the second round. Or to put it another way, only 30% of low ranking teams perform better than the Strength Chart predicts.
There is a 70% liklihood of a team not making the second round if the Strength Chart shows the team at rank 8 or lower. Wow. A 70% prediction rate is a pretty strong liklihood.
Looking closer at this predictive ability, if we look at the fate of teams that made the playoffs but did NOT make the top 4 (so more restrictive than the top 8 above) we see a similar, but less strong result. Since 2014 there have been 79 teams that made the playoff that were not in the top 4 on the Strength Chart. Of those teams, 28 of them made it past the first round. That's about a 65% chance of being eliminated if the team isn't in the top four slots on the Strength Chart going into the playoffs.
To me, this indicates that placing higher on the Strength Chart will on average have the team perform better in the playoffs, or at least get to the second round a little more reliably. But, of course you can scroll down and see there are a number of instances where teams with high Strength Ratings also go out in the first round.
So, should you base your predictions on where the team appears on TheHockeyPool's Strength Chart? Well. I won't be using it 100%, but, if I'm on the fence about a team and they show up lower than their seed on the Strength Chart, I'm probably going to avoid that team.
