Latest Analysis
From: Colorado Holds the Edge as Carolina and Vegas Own the Cup Math - May 25, 2026 ->The East is locked on the surface, but the hierarchy is not. Tampa Bay Lightning (50-32, 106 proj pts) and Montreal Canadiens (48-34, 111 proj pts, ) are both in, yet Montreal’s championship number puts them in a different conversation than their point total suggests.
