NHL predictions and rankings - January 11, 2024


What’s going on? The two teams who current have the most points at Canadian: the Jets and the Canucks. I don’t expect this will last but it’s worth noting that several Canadian teams are doing well this year: Jets, Canucks, Oilers and Maple Leafs.

Predictions for the 2023-24 season

The Jets are still on top of the expected standings and still favourite for the President’s trophy and the Cup. Although the Hurricanes are 11th in the expected ranking, they are one of the favourites to win the Cup.

Power ranking

The three top teams in the power ranking are Canadian: Jets, Oilers and Canucks. The Jets have the best defence, the Oilers the best offence and the Canucks the second best offence.

The Blackhawks are much worst than the other teams, but the Sharks are much worst than the Blackhawks.
