NHL predictions and rankings - November 29, 2024


Many are of the opinion that by Thanksgiving we know which teams will make the playoffs. I tend to think it’s mostly true. For some teams it’s obvious they are already out of the playoffs. It’s the teams who are in the “mix” who are interesting to follow.

Predictions for the 2024-25 season

The Jets have cooled off. The Hurricanes are hot and at the top of the standings. I doubt Martin Necas will be able to keep his current pace for the rest of the season.

Power ranking

The Jets are at the top. They have the best offence and the third best defence, behind the Wild and the Jets.
