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.
