It's fascinating to see how the NHL landscape is shifting this season, especially with the injury bug hitting so many teams hard. The depth of a roster is proving to be more crucial than ever. Look at the Winnipeg Jets and Florida Panthers; they are showing that having multiple lines that can contribute is essential for success. It's not just about having a couple of star players anymore.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are also a great example of adaptability. Losing Auston Matthews is a massive blow, but their ability to pivot and focus on a more defensive style has kept them at the top of the Atlantic Division. It’s impressive how they’ve managed to maintain their winning ways despite significant injuries.

And let's not forget about the Calgary Flames! They’ve surprised many by stepping up without elite talent. It’s a testament to how important it is for teams to have young players ready to take on bigger roles when called upon.

This season is a reminder that in hockey, it’s not just about the stars; it’s about the entire team stepping up. The playoffs are going to be interesting, especially if these teams can keep their depth and adaptability in play. What do you think about the role of depth versus star power in the playoffs?
