We are two weeks into the 2025-26 season and here's my Nuggets:
1. Home ice matters? Detroit is 4-1-0 at Little Caesars Arena, the NY Rangers are 0-4-0 at Madison Square Garden.
2. Are the Habs for real? Montreal sits 3 pts ahead of their Canadian rival, the Toronto Maple Leafs, in the Atlantic Division.
3. 3 Western Heavy Weights punching early & often. Colorado .917 P% +11 DIFF, Vegas .857 P% +10 DIFF, Winnipeg .833 P% +10 DIFF
