NHL predictions and rankings - December 28, 2023


Last post of the year. I hope you had a good 2023 and that you’ll have a better 2024.

Predictions for the 2023-24 season

A bit of movement at the top. The Kings are back as favourite for the President’s trophy. It’s tight for the first five spot with the Rangers, Canucks and Jets right behind the Kings.

The Blue Jackets, the Ducks, the Blackhawks and the Sharks are already virtually eliminated from making the playoffs.

Power ranking

The Kings took over the top spot but the Jets and the Canucks are not far behind.The teams with the best defences take the top two spots in the power ranking.
