The dust has finally settled on whats been a wild offseason for the NHL, along the 2019-20 year on the horizon, sportsbooks are getting ready for what is shaping up to be another exciting season around the ice by releasing OVER/UNDER stage totals for all 31 clubs at the approaching campaign.
BetOnline has searched the Tampa Bay Lightning (108.5), Toronto Maple Leafs (101.5), Boston Bruins (100.5), Vegas Golden Knights (100.5) and Colorado Avalanche (98.5) since the groups with the best opportunities to post the maximum point totals. It is worth noting that Bruins, Leafs and the Bolts all reside in the Atlantic Division that is tough — a chilling sight.
On the flip side, the Ottawa Senators (68.5), Los Angeles Kings (73.5), Detroit Red Wings (75.5), Anaheim Ducks (79.5) and Buffalo Sabres (83.5) are??the likeliest teams to complete at the base of the standings. The Sens year in 2018-19 has been the worst in the league, but Ottawa didnt possess its very own first-round pick because of a trade with Colorado for Matt Duchene at 2017.
A couple of teams I prefer to go OVER their projected point totals are the Chicago Blackhawks (90.5) and Florida Panthers (96.5) The greatest reason I like the OVER in the two scenarios is goaltending. Chicagos 84-point season in 2018-19 underwhelm, but overall director Stan Bowman made a splash in free agency by registering netminder Robin Lehner.
With Lehner in the fold to help shoulder the load the Blackhawks are at a prime place to improve from one year ago on their list that is 36-34-12. After all, Lehner was a Vezina Trophy finalist thanks to a 25-13-5 record,??2.13 goals-against typical and .930 save percentage in his lone season with the New York Islanders.
Florida boasted one of the worst goaltending tandems in the league last year, but because of the fertility of Roberto Luongo and the trade of James Reimer into the Carolina Hurricanes, the Panthers have a brand new appearance in net after registering celebrity goalie Sergei Bobrovsky to some seven-year, $70-million thing.
Having a franchise netminder in between the pipes, an offense that overlooks the ninth-most targets in 2018-19 (264) and one of the best coaches in the NHL in Joel Quenneville within his first year on the seat, I hope the Panthers to be a playoff team and soar over their 96.5-point projection.
