State of the teamEdmonton got another scoring title from Connor McDavid, whose 138 points won the Art Ross — but the season ended in shock. The Oilers, two-time defending Western Conference champions, were bounced in the first round by the upstart Anaheim Ducks in six games, their earliest exit since 2021. The fallout was swift: Edmonton fired coach Kris Knoblauch after the season, a stunning turn for a team that had been on the brink of a Cup a year earlier. His replacement is the bigger story: Edmonton handed Connor McDavid's bench to Mike Babcock, a hire the NHL had to formally clear first. Babcock had not coached an NHL game since 2019-20. His 2023 return with Columbus ended in resignation before he worked a game, after the NHL Players' Association looked into complaints that he asked players to show him the personal photos on their phones. GM Stan Bowman also moved Darnell Nurse's contract to San Jose without retaining salary, freeing more than $9 million. The new season starts tracking here at puck drop.

Zone Time
Offensive-zone time is the why behind shot-attempt share (SAT%) above — a team that lives in the offensive zone out-attempts opponents. The line tracks how that's moved season by season; the bar is this year's split. Based on NHL player-tracking data.
