The 2024-25 NHL season has begun with unexpected developments, particularly in the Western Conference, as traditional powerhouses like the Colorado Avalanche and Edmonton Oilers struggle early on.
The Avalanche, with a 1-4-0 record, face pressure to recover quickly, while the Oilers, despite star players Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, sit at 2-4-0 after a recent loss.
In contrast, teams like the Dallas Stars, Winnipeg Jets, and Calgary Flames are thriving, with the Stars leading the odds after a perfect start.
Meanwhile, the Nashville Predators and San Jose Sharks are facing difficulties, with both teams yet to find their rhythm this season.
