Bracket Challenge offers second chance to fans in Stanley Cup Playoffs
NEW YORK - Dramatic outcomes in the First Round of the 2019 Stanley Cup® Playoffs have busted brackets in the
2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs Bracket Challenge™ presented by Jägermeister. And now - for the first time ever - fans can have a fresh start with the Stanley Cup Playoffs Second Chance Bracket™. At the conclusion of the First Round and before the start of the Second Round, fans will be able to submit a new bracket at
NHL.com/Bracket with their predictions for the remainder of the 2019 Stanley Cup® Playoffs.
While the grand prize of $100,000 still is available for initial entrants, fans that submit Second Chance Brackets will vie for a trip for two to the 2019-20 NHL® event of their choice. Once the Second Round matchups for the 2019 Stanley Cup® Playoffs are set, fans can start creating and submitting new brackets containing their predictions for the remainder of the postseason online or via the NHL® App. Brackets will be locked at 6:59 p.m. ET before the first puck drops in the Second Round.
