Five fearless NHL predictions

We already know two certainties about the 2016-17 NHL season:

1) The Florida Panthers' Jaromir Jagr will continue to defy age and score goals.

2) The Calder Trophy race between early frontrunners -- the Winnipeg Jets' Patrik Laine and Toronto Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews -- will rage on for the entire season if both rookies remain healthy.

The start of the regular season has revealed some unlikely trends, including the San Jose Sharks' Brent Burns leading the league in scoring, with nine points entering Friday's action.
