Ndax, one of Canada's largest crypto trading platforms, and the National Hockey League (NHL®) today announced a new Canadian partnership, naming Ndax the Official Crypto Trading Platform Partner of the NHL during the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

EA Sports is acting as an oracle once again, trying to predict which team will lift the Stanley Cup at the end of the ongoing playoffs via NHL 25 -- a method that saw them correctly predict Canada's victory over the U.

The Oilers hope to clean up their defense as they remain without defensemen Mattias Ekholm and Troy Stecher. Also of note: Game 1 marked the first playoff appearance for NHL veteran Jeff Skinner, whose career includes stretches with the Carolina Hurricanes and the Buffalo Sabres. Skinner picked up one assist.
