The dust has finally settled on whats been a wild offseason for the NHL, along with the 2019-20 year around the horizon, sportsbooks are getting ready for whats shaping up to be another exciting year on the ice by simply releasing OVER/UNDER point levels for all 31 clubs at the upcoming campaign.
BetOnline has tabbed 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 greatest chances to place the maximum point totals. It is well worth noting that the Bolts, Leafs and Bruins reside in the Atlantic Division — a sight.
On the reverse 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) would be the likeliest teams to complete at the base of the standings. The Sens 64-point year in 2018-19 was the worst in the group, but Ottawa didnt possess its own first-round pick due to a trade with Colorado for Matt Duchene in 2017.
A couple of teams that I like to go OVER their projected point totals would be the Chicago Blackhawks (90.5) and also Florida Panthers (96.5) The greatest reason I like the OVER in the two situations is goaltending. The 84-point period in 2018-19 of chicago was underwhelming, but general manager Stan Bowman made a splash in free agency by signing netminder Robin Lehner.
With Lehner from the fold to help shoulder the load 34-year-old Corey Crawford, the Blackhawks are to improve on their album from one year ago. After all, Lehner was a Vezina Trophy finalist thanks to some 25-13-5 record,??2.13 goals-against average and .930 save percentage in his one season with the New York Islanders.
Florida boasted one of the worst goaltending tandems in the league this past year, but on account of the retirement of Roberto Luongo and the trade of James Reimer to the Carolina Hurricanes, the Panthers will have a fresh appearance in net after registering star 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 goals in 2018-19 (264) and also among the best coaches in the NHL at Joel Quenneville within his very first year on the bench, I hope the Panthers for a playoff team and soar over their 96.5-point projection.
