NHL Standings 2026-27: Signal Projections

The 2026-27 NHL standings, East and West, updated daily — with a Squawka Signal twist. Alongside each team’s record and points you get our projected final points total and playoff odds, so you can see not just where a team sits today but where our model expects it to finish.

The projections come from simulating the rest of the season ten thousand times, the same engine behind our Stanley Cup odds and power rankings.
