Are You Ready for the 2023 NHL Season? Here's What to Expect

The NHL is back!

The 2023 NHL season is set to begin on October 11th, and there are plenty of storylines to keep an eye on. Here's a look at some of the things to expect this season:

1. A new era for the Blackhawks

The Chicago Blackhawks are entering a new era after trading away some of their biggest stars, including Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat.

The team is now led by a young core of players, including Kirby Dach, Alex Nylander and Lukas Reichel.

2. The Maple Leafs are looking to make a run

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been one of the most dominant teams in the regular season in recent years, but they have yet to make a deep run in the playoffs.

This year, the Maple Leafs are hoping to change that with a new coach in Sheldon Keefe.

3. The Oilers are hoping to build on their success

The Edmonton Oilers are coming off a successful season in which they reached the Western Conference Finals.

The team is led by Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, two of the best players in the NHL.

4. The Avalanche are the team to beat

The Colorado Avalanche are the defending Stanley Cup champions, and they are the team to beat in the NHL this season.

The Avalanche have a deep and talented roster, led by Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar.

5. The playoffs are going to be wide open

The NHL playoffs are always unpredictable, and this year is expected to be no different.

There are a number of teams that could make a run to the Stanley Cup, including the Maple Leafs, Oilers, Avalanche, and Boston Bruins.
