Analysis at publication · Oct 29, 2026

The Minnesota Wild (9-5, 90–100%) lead the West’s listed playoff bands, with a 107-point projection. The Colorado Avalanche (7-6, 80–90%) project for 104 points, but their record is below .500. That difference underscores why the model’s outlook is not simply a readout of the current win-loss table.
