Preseason projections from multiple models highlight the Colorado Avalanche, Carolina Hurricanes, Tampa Bay Lightning, and Dallas Stars as the primary candidates to reach 110 points in the 2026-27 season’s 84-game schedule. These clubs enter with strong rosters, depth across forward lines, and proven goaltending, building on prior campaigns that produced totals near or above the mark. Early October results have shown typical variance in goal differentials and special-teams efficiency, while roster continuity for defending champion Carolina and additions across the Atlantic and Central divisions support elevated point expectations. Schedule strength, injury management over the longer campaign, and goaltender performance will determine how many clubs ultimately clear the threshold amid a compressed playoff race.
