Boston and San Jose both won their game 7 battles, and are now each the favorite in their conference. New York is dominated by Boston due to a huge strength difference, but San Jose is projected to win based on home ice advantage. In the table above they appear tied with St. Louis in strength, but to more decimal places, St. Louis is ahead .55093 to .55078. that's still a minuscule difference, as, for example one more goal scored by San Jose would have bumped them up to .55249. There's one last game remaining in round 1, game 7 between Carolina and Washington.
