Toronto Maple Leafs
The Toronto Maple Leafs reassert themselves as the top regular season team in the league. Paul Ronty (20-44-64) and Bud Poile (32-21-53), who missed 10 games, are brilliant again. Kennedy (20-29-49) has a bounce-back season, and 10 Leafs finish with 30+ points. On defense Thomson (3-38-41) is spectacular. Goalies Harvey Bennett (20-13-7, 7 shutouts, 2.27 GAA, .919 SV%) and Al Rollins (13-10-7, 2 shutouts, 2.40 GAA, .906 SV%), who was acquired in a trade with Boston, are brilliant.

Detroit Red Wings
The Detroit Red Wings roll off the momentum of the Cup win and have a spectacular season. Harry Lumley (34-25-11, 9 shutouts, 2.34 GAA, .917 SV%) is fabulous, and Dumart (23-33-56), Abel (26-27-53), and Howe (20-26-46) form one of the league's most deadly lines. Stewart and Quackenbush combine for 70 points on defense.

Montreal Canadiens
The Montreal Canadiens slip to third in the league, but still have a good year. Bill Durnan (31-26-13, 6 shutouts, 2.73 GAA, .904 SV%) declines, and Richard (40-21-61), Lach (18-46-64), and Blake (15-24-39) show a little aging (at least Lach; and Blake especially). Harvey manages 40 points from the blue line, and Bouchard leads the team as a +12.

Chicago Blackhawks
The Chicago Blackhawks return to the playoffs after missing the year before, as they reform their game around goalie Turk Broda (20-21-14, 6 shutouts, 2.71 GAA, .906 SV%). Gadsby (4-25-29) leads the way on defense, and Doug (14-49-63) and Max Bentley (31-31-62) lead a refreshed offensive charge with Bill Mosienko (35-15-50).

Boston Bruins
The Boston Bruins miss the playoffs after nearly upsetting the Leafs last season. The Bruins however boast the league's two best young left wingers, with Sid Smith (25-29-54) and Ted Lindsay (13-37-50). They are mentored by long time Bruin Milt Schmidt (34-23-57). Rookie Dave Creighton (18-27-45) has a standout year. In goal, Frank Brimsek (21-22-20, 3 shutouts, 2.39 GAA, .915 SV%) is the man. Phil Samis, acquired in a trade with Toronto impresses with a team best +9.

New York Rangers
The New York Rangers find themselves hopelessly in the basement again. Ed Slowinski (32-18-50) appears out of nowhere, and Buddy O'Connor (19-21-40) struggles to captain such a weak team. Fred Shero (1-30-31) gets an impressive number of assists. Chuck Rayner (19-35-16, 4 shutouts, 2.77 GAA, .906) continues to struggle with such a weak defense and non existent offense.

Awards
