NHL predictions and rankings - March 15, 2024
Alright, the trade period is over. A few big moves, let’s see if they’ll have a significant impact on the rest of the season.
Predictions for the 2023-24 season
The Panthers keep the top spot and then the Rangers, the Canucks and the Bruins follow with almost the same number of expected points. The Islanders getting Patrick Roy behind the bench did not seem to pay off right away but the Islanders have significantly improved their probability of making the playoffs over the last two weeks. The Penguins are pretty much done.
Power ranking
The Panthers keep the top of the power ranking but the Hurricanes are right behind. These are the two teams with the best defences.
