NHL Season Secrets: Uncover the Surprising Strengths, Hidden Weaknesses, and Game-Changing X Factors for Every Team
Most likely award winner: Cale Makar, Norris
Fantasy outlook: While Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar rank No. 1 at their respective positions, Colorado’s second scoring line carries the most fantasy intrigue. If Landeskog returns close to form, Valeri Nichushkin manages to stay healthy, and center Brock Nelson jells with both, look out.
Bold prediction: Avalanche win the Western Conference
Last season: 56-22-4 (116 points), lost in second round
Stanley Cup odds: +2500
Projected points: 94.7
Biggest strength: Offensive options. Their depth was already going to be somewhat tested to start the season with captain Adam Lowry recovering from a hip injury, only to have Cole Perfetti sustain an ankle sprain that will keep him out of the lineup on a week-to-week basis.
