NHL predictions and rankings - December 7, 2023
What do you think of the In-season tournament in the NBA? That could be a nice addition to the NHL season. I’m not sure if putting that into place would require opening the collective bargaining agreement.
Predictions for the 2023-24 season
The Kings continue their strong play and are still leading. The Bruins have bounced back after going through a bad sequence. The Oilers appear rejuvenated and now have an 84% probability of making the playoffs, even though they currently have a loosing record. The Lightning have about a 50% probability of not making the playoffs. The Ducks, Blackhawks and Sharks are already virtually out of the playoff race.
Power ranking
The Kings are at the top, followed distantly, this time, by the Golden Knights. The Rangers have dropped from second to the 11th spot following a bad loss to the Senators. The Oilers climbed up to the third spot.
