These four winners will now face the top four seeded teams, who were given an automatic pass to the quarterfinal round. The stage is now set for an exciting playoff push as the competition intensifies. The four top-seeded teams are fresh off their byes and will be eager to prove their dominance, while the first-round victors will look to carry their momentum forward and pull off upsets. Every team is hungry for a spot in the semifinals, making these matchups crucial for the playoff journey ahead. As the Sunday Draft Division playoffs continue, expect fierce competition and standout performances. Let the quarterfinals begin!

Quarterfinal Matchups:

(1)Sabres vs Predators(11) While the Sabres’ firepower makes them the favorites in this matchup, the Predators’ recent form and the presence of M. Destounis make this game intriguing. The Sabres will need to focus on shutting down Destounis to limit the Predators’ offensive output, but if the Predators can get a few early goals and keep the Sabres on their heels, anything can happen. It’s likely that the Sabres’ depth and consistency will prove too much for the Predators to handle, but the Predators won’t go down without a fight. Expect the Sabres to advance, but don’t be surprised if the Predators keep it competitive and make things interesting.

(2)Red Wings vs Wild(10) The Red Wings' offensive firepower and speed will likely be difficult for the Wild to contain for an entire game, particularly with the Santacroce brothers and Bchara leading the charge. However, the Wild's experience and defensive structure, along with M. Tzouvadakis' stellar goaltending, will allow them to make this game competitive and potentially frustrate the Red Wings at times. If the Wild can disrupt the Red Wings' offensive flow and get some timely goals-from their own end, they could make things interesting. But ultimately, the Red Wings' dynamic offense should be able to break through and earn a hard-fought victory.

(3)Kraken  vs Bruins( 8 ) The Kraken’s team-first mentality and defensive systems will certainly challenge the Bruins’ offensive stars, but the Bruins' firepower and ability to break free in transition could be the difference-maker in this matchup. While the Kraken’s approach should keep things competitive, the Bruins' individual skill and offensive depth has the potential to give them the edge. If Macri and Decotis are able to find their stride and create chances, the Kraken may struggle to keep up, if not, the Kraken do have the ability to shut them down and pull through, especially with S.Fraga guarding the cage.

(4)Canadiens vs Islanders(5) This game will likely come down to goaltending and defensive execution. While the Canadiens have the offensive talent in players such as J.Tzanetakos, C.Stamadianos and S.Boulerice to make an impact, F. Koch's presence in net could prove to be the difference-maker for the Islanders. If Koch stands tall and shuts down the Canadiens' top offensive threats, it will make it incredibly difficult for the Canadiens to get their way offensively. Look for an entertaining game between two eager teams to pull through.
