One month in and everyone's in it in the Eastern Conference, things looking great for @CanadiensMTL and @AnaheimDucks while the picture a bit more confounding for @FlaPanthers and @NYRangers. All this and one month awards and a one-month final prediction.

Happy Monday, time to check in on what is next for elite teams @Canes, @Avalanche, @NHLJets and @GoldenKnights and the resurgent @DetroitRedWings while wondering about the immediate future for @NHLFlames, @SanJoseSharks and @FlaPanthers plus lots more.

I have found when it comes to NHL players giving back it's often a multi-layered process with lots of moving parts. It's why Goals & Dreams is so successful and PL Dubois illustrates how it takes a village to share the game's gifts and enrich a community.

Are @FlaPanthers the perfect NHL machine? The simple answer is 'yes'. As for @EdmontonOilers, not so much. All things Stanley Cup Final and what happens now.
