Ottawa Senators 2026-27 preview: Brady Tkachuk was traded to Florida. Daniel Alfredsson left to coach in Toronto. Most previews see a bubble team, and sportsbooks expect 94.5 points.
We rate Ottawa 4th in the NHL. Why so high? π #GoSensGo#NHL
Dallas Stars 2026-27 preview: three straight 50-win seasons. 112 points last year, one behind the eventual champion. Then a first-round exit.
Now everyone is talking about Jake Oettinger's down year. Should you worry? π #TexasHockey#NHL
Anaheim Ducks 2026-27 preview: last spring the young Ducks upset Edmonton in six games. Then they paid Leo Carlsson and Cutter Gauthier.
The bill came due on defense: Carlson, Trouba, Gudas and Zellweger all left. Can the young core cover that? π #FlyTogether#NHL

Was that the real Blues? π #stlblues#NHL

So how bad does it get without the best goalie of the last decade? π #GoJetsGo#NHL
Washington Capitals 2026-27 preview: the Capitals added Jordan Kyrou and Alex Tuch, and sportsbooks now expect over 100 points.
We expect about 90. It's one of our biggest disagreements with the market. Why? π #ALLCAPS#NHL
Detroit Red Wings 2026-27 preview: Steve Yzerman left the front office. Captain Dylan Larkin asked for a trade. Simon Edvinsson is unsigned. Many predict last place in the Atlantic.

Buffalo Sabres 2026-27 preview: after 14 springs without playoffs, Buffalo won the Atlantic with 109 points.
But the Sabres were an average team until Christmas. Then the goalies got hot and the shooters kept scoring. How much of that comes back? π #SabreHood#NHL
Columbus Blue Jackets 2026-27 preview: the day before the season, Columbus traded Kirill Marchenko to Toronto for Matthew Knies.
Knies is younger, bigger and signed for five years. Most graders loved the trade for Columbus. Do we? π #CBJ#NHL
