This one's tricky to predict, but I'm going to go with snow game, arena roof structurally unstable, game to be played at an alternate site after conclusion of regular season if necessary, Canes and Jackets end in a perfect tie for the final wild card, minor league arena in Toledo agrees to host game in exchange for kickbacks to local government, Toledo mayor embroiled in scandal when discovered that he directed some of the money to his campaign fund, Bettman disavows knowledge of the scheme but retires rather than go through investigation, 5-1 loss.
