Arizona

Arizona's hockey players have participated in 81 official NHL regular season matches during the 2023-2024 season. Arizona has under its belt 81 played matches and 75 collected points, which has allowed them to hold the 13th position in the Western Conference league table. During the course of the 2023-2024 season, Arizona has been falling short, settling in the second half of the league table. Currently, Arizona ranks 13th in the Western Conference league table, and it's impossible for them to turn things around.

Throughout the regular season, the Arizona players were among the underdogs, with performances that failed to grant a Stanley Cup playoffs berth for 2024. Arizona's weaknesses were evident and understandable from the beginning of the regular season when they claimed a spot among the weakest competitors of the Western Conference. By the end of the regular season, Arizona could only clinch the 13th position. Arizona managed only to overtake their fellow underdogs from three teams that were trailing by a large amount of points. Teams from Anaheim, Chicago and San Jose performed worse than Arizona. In their last 5 matches of the regular season, Arizona has not done so badly. They were able to conquer San Jose, Vancouver, and Edmonton.

Edmonton

Edmonton's team participated in 80 official matches in the NHL's regular season of 2023-2024. In 80 games, the Edmonton hockey players were able to accumulate a respectable 104 points, enabling them to slot into the 5th position in the Western Conference league table. The Canadian players covered themselves in glory during the 2023-2024 season, comfortably making their way into the Stanley Cup playoffs and occupying a place in the high end of the league table.

As for how the regular season unfolded for Edmonton, it was a triumph. For an extended period, Edmonton was in contention for victory in the Western Conference and even led the pack for a while. Nevertheless, a streak of defeats took its toll. Falling back to 5th place, Edmonton conceded to Colorado, Winnipeg, Vancouver, and Dallas. The issue of Edmonton proceeding to the Stanley Cup playoffs had been settled long ago, with the Canadian team spending the holiday season determining their spot. Edmonton's performance indicators are excellent in comparison to other Western Conference favourites. In 80 matches, Edmonton has scored 291 goals and can still secure 4th place if they manage to win twice while Colorado suffers defeat. In the last five matches, Edmonton has lost just twice, falling to Arizona and Vancouver.
