The NHL season is underway, and teams are hitting the quarter mark of their schedule. After 20 games in the season, teams have seen coach firings and off-season signings finding their way. At this checkpoint, the standings see the Winnipeg Jets at 1st with 17 wins, 4 losses, and sitting with 34 points. Not so lucky are the Chicago Blackhawks, seated at the bottom of the league with 7 wins, 12 losses, and 2 OT wins, and with 16 points.
Individual players have shown their skill, with Nathan Mackinnon having 35 overall points, 28 of which are assists, and Sam Reinhart having 16 goals. For goalies, Connor Hellebuyck has a 2.13 GAA (Goals Against Average) and 3 shutouts, and Anthony Stolarz has a .927 save percentage.
Much of the season has yet to be played, so a lot can change. Some players can have breakout starts and change up these stat boards, while some can drop. The question still remains: Will any team be able to overthrow the winning Winnipeg Jets for their first spot? Time will tell as the season progresses.
