**The 2025-26 NHL season concluded with just three teams reaching the 110-point threshold: the Colorado Avalanche (121 points, Presidents’ Trophy winners), Carolina Hurricanes (113 points, Stanley Cup champions after defeating Vegas in the Final), and Dallas Stars (112 points).** These results reflected elite regular-season consistency from the top of the Central and Metropolitan divisions, driven by superior goal differentials, strong five-on-five play, and goaltending. Entering the 2026-27 campaign, which opens in late September with an 84-game schedule, trader sentiment centers on roster continuity for these clubs plus contenders like the Vegas Golden Knights, Edmonton Oilers, and Florida Panthers. Key variables include injury resilience, power-play efficiency, division parity in the Central and Atlantic, and any midseason roster adjustments. Historical patterns show 110-point seasons remain rare and concentrated among the league’s top performers.
