Can the Penguins continue their shock start?
Many expected the Pittsburgh Penguins to be a No. 1 overall pick candidate for the 2026 NHL Draft, but through 12 games, this is a team that sits at 8-2-2, and with a 5-1-1 record away from home, they've shown no signs of slowing down thus far. Offensively, the Penguins have shocked everyone by scoring 3.67 goals a game through 12, and with the goaltending ranking fourth in the NHL with a 2.42 GAA, this is a team that's been rolling all over this season.
In what may be his final season in Pittsburgh, this team has been led by veteran Evgeni Malkin with 3 goals and 17 points in 12 games, and with four other players over 10 points early in the season, this team is getting scoring from the entire lineup. Last time out for the Penguins was a solid road win over the Minnesota Wild, with four players tallying two points on the night as Tristan Jarry made 26 stops, enough for them to pick up a much-needed 4-1 victory.
D Caleb Jones (lower body) is on the IR.
Expected starting goaltender: Arturs Silovs (2.44 GAA and a .919 save percentage in six appearances).
Can the Jets win the West again in 2025/26?
The Winnipeg Jets have been on the verge of a special run for a number of years now, and with the team going 4-3-0 early in the season at home, they find themselves right back in the same spot at the top of the pack in the Central Division. While a 2.55 team GAA shows that this is a team once again ready to dominate defensively, with 3.57 goals scored per night, this is a team that can win games in many different ways as they look to win the Western Conference once more in 2025/26.
With another incredible start, Mark Scheifele leads this team with 9 goals and 18 points across 11 games, and this depth has once again shown up, with four other players on this roster over 10 points on the season already. Last time out for the Jets was a high-scoring win over the Chicago Blackhawks, with three points each to Scheifele and Kyle Connor leading them in this one as Connor Hellebuyck stopped 21 of the 24 shots he saw to lead them to the 6-3 victory.
RW Gustav Nyquist (undisclosed) is out.
Expected starting goaltender: Connor Hellebuyck (2.34 GAA and a .921 save percentage over nine games).
