Amazing things are happening in the Western Conference standings. In the week of 2024, everything was turned upside down, and Colorado suddenly came in first place after the relegation zone. That's because the Avalanche are on a seven-game winning streak, beating St. Louis 2:1, San Jose 3:1, and then the Islanders and Dallas 5:4 OT. Denver had shown promising results when Jared Bednar's wards suffered only one stretch of five losses in six games.

They are approaching the Eastern Conference and Florida leaders, which shows excellent results at the junction of 2023 and 2024. While the Panthers are on the third line in the standings, the gap from the first position is only three points, so all the struggle is still ahead. Now Paul Maurice's team continues their winning streak, which began with a confrontation against Vegas - 4:2, then there were victories over Tampa Bay - 3:2, the Rangers - 4:3, Montreal - 4:1, Arizona - 4:1, and the day before the South again defeated the Knights - 4:1. Obviously, Florida is in great shape and continues to chase the leaders.

Colorado and Florida join the match in great shape. Both teams have active winning streaks: Denver has reached the four-game mark, and Florida has won their last six straight. The Panthers are playing more confident and meaningful hockey, making them the favorites in the upcoming battle. They have already beaten many high-profile opponents in December and January, and now Paul Maurice's wards will face another test in the form of a fight with the leader of the Western Conference standings. 

Colorado and Florida are among the leaders of the entire league, and they are incredibly brilliant in the offensive. Denver has already scored 144 goals in 39 games (3.69 average per game), while the South has scored 115 goals in 38 battles (3.03 average per game) - excellent numbers. In addition, the Avalanche and Panthers have traditionally been fun and productive, having scored 57 goals (8.14 average per game) in their last seven meetings.
