Thank you sujoyku for testing. I estimate the difficulty to be somewhere around 2.5 stars. Post your Stanley Cup predictions in the comments. Enjoy!
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Entropy/Parity: Each set of three consecutive digits along the yellow line must contain a low (1, 2, 3), medium (4, 5, 6), and high (7, 8, 9) digit. In addition, digits along this line must alternate odd/even parity.
Palindrome: Digits along the thicker light grey lines must read the same forwards and backwards.
Renban: The thinner dark grey line contains a set of consecutive, non-repeating digits. Digits may appear in any order.
Kropki: Cells separated by a black dot contain digits with a 1:2 ratio. Not all dots are given.

I, too, know nothing about hockey, but that won't stop me from posting a prediction:
4-3 for Stanley with a clutch goal in overtime.
This may or may not make sense depending on how hockey is played.
Puzzle's nice, too.

I'm definitely more of a Steelers fan than Pens, but when The Pens are in the playoffs I try to catch as many of their games as I can. There's something special about playoff hockey.

Great stuff , super puzzle. Can’t give a prediction as I know nothing about ice hockey but hopefully your team wins.

Very nice puzzle, thank you! I'm normally very reluctant to try a 3* puzzle, but after the Hockey Stick puzzle (which is abit easier and went smoothly), I gave it a try. It was not easy, but I got through, and am glad I tried it.
--Thank you for solving both puzzles! Glad you enjoyed them.

Big caps fan here, but looks like a cool puzzle! And nice touch with the jersey numbers.

Thank you for letting me test this nice puzzle, CaptZebraCakes! I know too little about hockey to make any prediction about the Stanley cup, but I know that your penguin sudoku logo allows for some cool deductions. :)
Thank you for setting and sharing!
