The NHL season has been off to an exciting start, with several teams displaying promising performances that have caught the attention of fantasy managers. The Colorado Avalanche, with superstar Nathan MacKinnon leading the charge, have quickly established themselves as a frontrunner. MacKinnon’s scoring prowess and playmaking ability make him a must-have in any fantasy league.

Meanwhile, the New Jersey Devils have seen a resurgence thanks to Jack Hughes, who is proving to be a top-tier fantasy asset this season. His combination of speed, skill, and scoring touch has elevated his teammates and made the Devils a team to watch. Early-season statistics suggest that Hughes’ point production is on track to surpass his previous career-highs.

In contrast, the Chicago Blackhawks, despite the hype surrounding Connor Bedard's rookie campaign, have struggled to find consistency. Fantasy managers may need to temper expectations as the team navigates through growing pains. Bedard's individual performances have been impressive, but team dynamics could hinder his overall impact.
