As the National Hockey League reaches the All Star Game, we start looking ahead at the postseason picture. It should be a fun race to get into the postseason in both the Eastern and Western Conference.
Let’s take a look at who is in, who is in the hunt, and who’s upset, and out. Here we go:
2024 Stanley Cup Playoff Race: Betting Who is In, Who is Out, On the Hunt? | MyBookie Odds and Betting Analysis for the Hockey Playoff Race
Who’s In: | Eastern Conference
Boston Bruins
Top team in the league with 71 points. These guys have been monsters in the regular season the last several seasons.
Florida Panthers
The Panthers have 66 points heading into the break. They are going to put plenty of pressure on Boston as the season moves forward.
New York Rangers
The Rangers lead the Metropolitan with 63 points on the season. New York struggled a bit down the stretch; going 4-5-1, but a break should help them out.
Carolina Hurricanes
The Carolina are right on the tails of the Rangers. It will be interesting to see who takes the Metro title between those two teams.
Tampa Bay Lightning
The Lightning won 8 out of their last 10 before the break to move into the 5th spot in the Eastern Conference. Is the championship window closed? The roster says not so fast!
Maple Leafs
Toronto sits a point behind Tampa, and tied with Detroit heading into the break. The Maple Leafs have three games in hand with both those teams, so they should be able to make some moves.
Detroit Red Wings
A surprise to see a young Detroit team in postseason contention. This is a fun Red Wings team that has up and coming talent.
Philadelphia Flyers
The Flyers are the final team in as of the All Star Break. Philadelphia has 56 points, which is four up on the Islanders, who are 9th.
Who is in the Hunt: | Eastern Conference
New York Islanders
20-17-2 heading into the break.
New Jersey Devils
Also with 51 points in 47 games.
Washington Capitals
Another team with 51 points in 47 games.

Who’s In: | Western Conference
Vancouver Canucks
No one would have guessed the Canucks would be leading the West at the All Star Break. Yet, here we are, as they sit with 71 points in 49 games.
Colorado Avalanche
A year removed from winning the cup, this Colorado team seems poised to be ready to make another deep run.
Winnipeg Jets
The Jets are third in a tough Central Division. Winnipeg though is just two points behind Colorado. The Central could be the most competitive division in the league.
Vegas Golden Knights
Vegas won 6 out of their final 10 before the break, but the defending champions ran into a little mid season lull earlier in the season. Let’s see if the break helps them.
Edmonton Oilers
Just think if Edmonton would not have been so terrible to start the season. This team has won 16 straight games, and still sit 12 points back of the Canucks.
Los Angeles Kings
The Kings seem to have weathered their storm, but still have not played solid hockey for awhile. A little concerning for Los Angeles.
St. Louis Blues
The Blues had won six straight until their loss to Columbus. The Blues have 54 points in 49 games.
Who is in the Hunt: | Western Conference
Nashville Predators
the Predators are tied with the Blues, with 54 points. Nashville has played two more games than St. Louis.
Seattle Kraken
The Kraken will need to be better in the second half if they want back in the Western Conference Finals like a season ago.
Arizona Coyotes
The Coyotes have 49 points in 48 games.
Calgary Flames
Calgary starts the second half with 49 points in 50 games.
Who’s Out? | Western Conference
Minnesota Wild
The Wild have been extremely disappointing, as they sit with 47 points in 49 games.
Anaheim Ducks
The Ducks have moved to 18-30-2, but after a solid start to the season, it was a disappointing first half.
