NHL predictions and rankings - February 2, 2023
We are at the All-Star break already. I used to love the All-Star game but I have lost interest and I haven’t watched it in several years.
Predictions for the 2022-23 season
The Bruins are on top, not surprisingly. The Bruins have played so well that we forget about how great a season the Hurricanes are having. They are on pace for almost 120 points. The Maple Leafs haven’t played too well lately and have dropped in the expected standings. The Oilers have been playing well and they have the second highest probability of reaching the Stanley Cup finals out of the West teams.

It’s the Bruins and then the rest. The Canadiens are now second from the bottom.
