It is always easy to get carried away by the results of specific teams in the early going, totally forgetting that the NHL season is a long, hard grind.
Yes, it’s always great to get out to a fast start, but you look at the teams that are hot right now and wonder if they can maintain that pace.
My Analysis of the NHL Must Bet Games Week 6
I am talking specifically about the Winnipeg Jets, who are putting up record-breaking numbers in the early going.
They are definitely a fun team to watch but expecting them to be this prolific over the course of 82 games seems ridiculous.
All we can do is wait and see, which means taking things one week at a time.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the best matchups on the NHL schedule this week.
^Carolina Hurricanes at Vegas Golden Knights
Monday, November 11, 2024, 10:00 PM, ESPN+
This looks like a great way to start the week, as both of these teams are in the Stanley Cup conversation this season.
The Hurricanes are currently sitting 2nd in the Metroploitan Division, sitting 2 points behind the Devils at the top.
The Hurricanes are coming off a loss, but they have been hot of late, going 8-2-0 in their last 10 games.
The #Canes have recalled defenseman Ty Smith and forward Tyson Jost from the @Chicago_Wolves. https://t.co/9feQGtJl47

Vegas is trailing the Kings by a single point in the Pacific Division, but they too are coming off a loss, which dropped them to 6-2-2 in their last 10 games.
The Golden Knights have won all 8 home games, so this is a tough one for Carolina.
^Winnipeg Jets at New York Rangers
Tuesday, November 12, 2024, 7:00 PM | ESPN+
As we mentioned at the top of this piece, the Winnipeg Jets are about as hot as it gets at the moment. They are 14-1-0 overall and have won 9 of their last 10 games.
Impressive as that is, it is the nature of those wins that makes this team so much fun to watch, The Jets have already scored 67 goals and start the new week on a 6-game win streak.

The Rangers are sitting in the middle of the Metropolitan Division, but they are also just 3 points off the pace, so very much in the conversation for top spot.
They have gone 7-3-0 in their last 10 games, so this is not an easy trip for the Jets.
^LA Kings at Colorado Avalanche
Wednesday, November 13, 2024, 10:00 PM | TNT, truTV, Max
The Kings come into the new week with a 1-point lead at the top of the Pacific Division, although they have played 2 more games than the Golden Knights in 2nd place.

They have been very decent on the road, going 5-3-2 in their 10 road trips to this point.
We are still waiting for the Avalanche to start firing this season, as they are 7-8-0 right now, although they are coming off a win over the weekend to go 6-4-0 in their last 10 games.
The Avs have been mediocre on home ice, going 4-5-0 to this point.
^New Jersey Devils at Florida Panthers
Thursday, November 14, 2024, 7:00 PM | ESPN+
Things may change by the time this game rolls around, but as it stands at the moment, these teams are sitting atop their respective divisions.
The Devils are 10-6-2, which is good enough to have them a point clear at the top of the Metropolitan Division.

— Florida Panthers (@FlaPanthers) November 10, 2024
They have been very good on the road, going 6-3-0 away from home. The Panthers come into this week on a hot run of form, winning 7 in a row to build up a 3-point lead atop the Atlantic Division.
They are a tough nut to crack at home, going 5-1-1 to this point.

2022 Great Matches With Playoffs Implications
In looking at Wednesday night’s slate of games, two teams are looking good, while another is on the outside looking in, and will need some help to get into the mix. Let’s take a look at the three Wednesday night games that have some playoff implications so you can bet against their NHL Betting Odds.
Out West in the NHL, there are still two playoff spots up for grabs
Arizona Coyotes @ Dallas Stars
Dallas has two huge home games this week, as on Tuesday night they host the Las Vegas Knights, and then on Wednesday night, they’ll welcome the Arizona Coyotes to town. With a victory on Tuesday night over the Golden Knights, Dallas will put five points between themselves and Las Vegas with just two games to play. If that happens, it will be awfully tough for Las Vegas to catch the Stars and get into the playoffs.
The Dallas Stars are great at home, as heading into Tuesday night’s game, they are 25-10-3 on their home ice. Arizona should provide much of a challenge, as they’re sitting dead last in the Central division with a league-low 51 points. They’re just playing out the season, and they’re ready for the season to be over.
We’ll see how Tuesday night goes, but if Dallas beats Las Vegas, they should be able to outlast the Coyotes and their playoff berth will be theirs for the taking.
Las Vegas Golden Knights @ Chicago Blackhawks
So, we know all of the scenarios surrounding Tuesday night’s Golden Knights-Stars game. If Dallas wins, Las Vegas is going to need a lot of help in order to sneak into the last playoff spot. If Las Vegas wins, their odds of getting into the playoffs will be much better. They would then need a lot of help from Arizona and Anaheim to win the second wild-card spot.
If Las Vegas wins on Tuesday, Wednesday night’s game with the Blackhawks is a must win. The Blackhawks have long been out of the playoff race and are in rebuild mode. They’re currently sitting near the bottom of the central division, and are playing for a better draft spot.
Las Vegas knows that their season could nearly be over on Tuesday night, however if they win, then things really get interesting. If they can win on Tuesday, and then beat Chicago on Wednesday, they’ll be hoping for a lot of help from the Coyotes and Ducks.
Los Angeles Kings @ Seattle Kraken
With a win in this one, the Kings clinch a playoff berth. They wouldn’t need to depend on the results of any other contest. However, if they lose this one, then they’ll be scoreboard watching. The expansion Kraken are one of the worst teams in the league, and have nothing but a better draft pick to play for. While the chances of the Kings not making the playoffs are very slim, the Kraken know that this could be their Stanley Cup Finals in one game. We’ll see how this one shakes out.
