The Carolina Hurricanes finished the 2023-2024 NHL Season winning five consecutive games before losing their final game on the road to the Columbus Jackets. They remain one of the most efficient teams on both sides of the side of the ice. Carolina ranks eighth in the league in goals per game (3.38) and fourth in goals allowed per game (2.57).
The Hurricanes are a team that possesses one of the most well-balanced and talented rosters in the NHL, they have star players in forward Jake Guentzel and center Aho Sebastian and they have shown they can win big games. They are championship-hungry and are determined to redeem themselves from the 4-0 series loss to the Florida Panthers in the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Hurricanes will face the New York Islanders in the first round of the NHL Playoffs.

The Colorado Avalanche possesses one of the most talented rosters in the NHL. Their big three in center Nathan MacKinnon, forward Mikko Rantanen, and defenseman Cale Maker is just as good, if not better, than their Stanley Cup-winning team. Their offense is elite as the team has been averaging 3.67 goals per game, first in the league.
The biggest concern for the Avalanche this season is their lack of focus or, oftentimes, mental toughness. Colorado had an elite defense much early in the season, but over the course of the schedule, the defense has been lacking. That has shown within the last few weeks as well with the Avalanche losing seven of the last ten games before dominating the Edmonton Oilers in the regular season finale.
If the Avalanche regains that mentality earlier in the season, they are the best team in the league.
The Avalanche will face the Winnipeg Jets in the first round of the NHL Playoffs.

For a team that possesses the best overall record in the NHL, it seems like the New York Rangers are undervalued in the race for the Stanley Cup title. This Rangers team might be primed for a serious run of the title this season. The last time the Rangers reached the Stanley Cup Finals was in the 2013-2014 NHL Season when they lost to the Los Angeles Kings.
The Rangers are ranked seventh in the league in goals per game (3.39) and seventh in goals allowed per game (2.76). They have created one of the most impressive second-half performances this season of all teams in the league. New York possesses the roster, the efficiency on both sides of the ice, and an underrated star in forward Artemi Panarin.
The Rangers will face the Washington Capitals in the first round of the NHL Playoffs.

The Florida Panthers were among one of the most impressive teams for the past several seasons. On paper it wouldn't look like they are much of an elite title contender, on the other hand, watching them play it is clear that they are one of the most efficient and aggressive units in the NHL. Throughout most of the season and especially in the second half of the season, the defense of the Panthers looks like one of the best defenses of all time. They are currently ranked first in the league in goals allowed per game (2.41).
Florida had accounted for an overall record of 45-17-4 after a huge 4-3 win over the Dallas Stars. Since then, the Panthers have seen struggles with consistency as it appears they may have peaked too early.
The Panthers are looking to redeem themselves with a more aggressive push with the playoffs. They have key role players, aggressive defense, and solid experience to accomplish another run for a Stanley Cup title. Last season, the Panthers were just a few games away from the title as they lost to the Vegas Golden Knights.
The Panthers will face the Toronto Maple leaves in the first round of the NHL playoffs.

No team had a more disastrous start to the NHL season than the Edmonton Oilers. It had gotten so bad that they had the fire their coaching staff and bring in a new one not long until the season.
When it was time for the players to step up, the Oilers turned their season around significantly. Since then, the Oilers are one of the most aggressive units on the ice offensively and have improved significantly on defense.
Edmonton is going to be one of the hardest teams to stop offensively as they have one of the best dynamic duos in the league. The Oilers are third in the league in goals per game (3.6). If center Connor McDavid and center Leon Draisaitl play like an elite unit, they will be hard to beat.
The Oilers will face the Los Angeles Kings and the first round of the NHL playoffs.
