As the 2026-27 NHL season opens in preseason, Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars, Minnesota Wild, Edmonton Oilers, and Vegas Golden Knights stand out among Western Conference teams projected to contend for deep playoff runs. The Avalanche and Stars enter with strong regular-season cores and recent division titles, while the Oilers rely on elite forward talent and the Golden Knights emphasize depth and goaltending stability. Offseason roster adjustments and divisional parity in the Central and Pacific shape early trader views, with schedule strength, injury recoveries, and early-season form likely to influence which clubs secure the top seeds needed to reach the conference finals.
