Carolina Hurricanes, Colorado Avalanche, Edmonton Oilers, Vegas Golden Knights, and Tampa Bay Lightning enter the 2026-27 season as the primary candidates to reach 110 points, based on preseason projections that placed several clubs in the 110-125 range. Carolina’s strong start (11 points through seven games) and depth have kept them atop early models projecting 110-111 points, while the Avalanche’s elite regular-season pedigree and the Oilers’ offensive firepower support their high-end outlooks. Early injury reports, goaltending stability, and schedule difficulty will shape whether additional teams like the Stars or Wild join them, as 110-point seasons typically require sustained elite performance across an 82-game slate with limited regulation losses. Trader consensus reflects these established contenders holding the strongest implied probabilities early in the campaign.
