For the Winnipeg Jets, the 2021-2022 season did not go as planned.
The Nashville Predators were the first team eliminated in this year’s NHL playoffs, getting swept by the league’s best Colorado Avalanche in the first round.
Although the Montreal Canadiens had the least amount of wins within the entire National Hockey League this year, it does not appear to be a continuing trend for the Habs.
It was another rough year in Tinseltown as the Los Angeles Kings continue their climb back up the hill during a tricky rebuild. Finishing sixth in the West Division, the Kings struggled mightily on the offensive end all throughout the year.
In a season where expectations were low, the Minnesota Wild surpassed those expectations and more. The Wild were in the fight for first in the Pacific Division until the bitter end with the Vegas Golden Knights and the Colorado Avalanche. In the end, they finished third in the division and entered an intense playoff series with the Golden Knights.
The 2020-21 season might be one the Columbus Blue Jackets might want to forget. Instead, they should just go directly to the draft, where they have three first-round picks to add key players to their arsenal. While no one coach or player was responsible for what transpired, all can take some responsibility. If they can do that, then it’s possible next season will be a bounce-back year.
The Tampa Bay Lightning were trying to repeat as Stanley Cup Champions for the first time since the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Nashville Predators made a push in the latter half of the season, winning 20 of their last 28 games. That allowed them to pass the Dallas Stars and make it into the postseason. However, an early exit shows there’s still a lot of work to be done in Smashville.
One of the most disappointing teams this past season, the Calgary Flames settled for fifth in the North Division.
One of the most exciting teams league-wide, the Colorado Avalanche captured the President’s Trophy for the first time in 20 years this past season. Finishing atop the West Division with 39 victories, the team also led the NHL with 197 goals for. Enjoying another stellar campaign in 2021, star center Nathan MacKinnon was named a finalist for the Hart Trophy after recording 20 goals and 45 assists in 48 games. Along with this, in his third year with the Avalanche, net minder Philipp Grubauer earned a nomination for the Vezina Trophy. Racking up a .922 save percentage and a 1.95 goals-against average, the 29-year-old finished second in the league with 30 victories in 40 starts.
The Stanley Cup hopes of the Washington Capitals were dashed by their first-round exit at the hands of the Boston Bruins. This makes the third straight season of not making it past the first round, and fans are probably wondering if their window has closed.
It has become astonishing how consistently the Oilers are mismanaged. That showed once again in 2020-21. With Leon Draisaitl playing amazing and Connor McDavid somehow finding a new level, the club managed to disappoint them once again.
