NHL Central Division Favorites
The winners of the Central Division in the NHL during the 2023-24 season were the Dallas Stars. Dallas won this division by just three points over the second-place Winnipeg Jets, while the Colorado Avalanche finished in third place at six points back of Dallas. All three of those teams played very different styles of hockey, which created a compelling race for the top spot, which the Stars eventually won.
