Does anyone want to win the Pacific Division?

Since the calendar turned to 2026, the race for first place in the Pacific Division has been uninspiring. Seattle has the best record in the New Year, while Edmonton and Anaheim are the only other teams to win more than half their games, and both of them only won eight of 15. But the Ducks are 8-2 in their last 10 games after losing their first five games this year.

The good news for the Oilers is they are very much alive in the race for the division, but the bad news is they are allowing goals at an alarming rate.

Edmonton and Vegas are tied for first place, and Vegas has one game in hand. They lost both games to Seattle and Anaheim this weekend, in regulation, to allow Edmonton to keep pace in the Turtle Derby. The Pacific Division leader would currently be sixth in the Atlantic and fourth place in both the Metropolitan and Central divisions. It has not been a stellar regular season for the Pacific Division, but a solid final 26-28 games for Vegas, Edmonton, Seattle, Anaheim or L.A. could earn them first spot in the division. Get really hot for two weeks and you likely win the division.

But based on recent play that is easier said than done. Here are the records of Pacific division teams in 2026.
