Predictions for the 2023-24 season

The Rangers are still on the top spot and appear set to win the President’s trophy. The Hurricanes are favourite for the Cup. After the Hurricanes, there are four teams with probabilities of winning the Cup at about 10% (Stars, Avalanche, Panthers and Oilers). That should make for interesting playoffs.

The Lightning is back and is set to make the playoffs. The Islanders and the Penguins have found ways to still be in the race for playoff spots. The race for a playoff spot is practically over in the West.

Power ranking

The Hurricanes keep the top spot of the power ranking. The Stars, who I do not pay much attention to, have climbed to the second spot.
