The dust has finally settled on whats been a crazy offseason for the NHL, also also the 2019-20 season around the horizon, sportsbooks are getting ready for whats shaping up to be another exciting year around the ice by just releasing OVER/UNDER point totals for all 31 clubs at the approaching 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 teams with the best opportunities to post the maximum point totals. It is worth noting that the Bolts, Leafs and Bruins all live in the Atlantic Division — a 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 finish at the bottom of the standings. The Sens season in 2018-19 has been the worst in the group, but Ottawa didnt possess its own 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 are the Chicago Blackhawks (90.5) and Florida Panthers (96.5) The biggest reason why I enjoy the OVER in both situations is goaltending. The 84-point season in 2018-19 of chicago was underwhelming, but general manager Stan Bowman created a splash in free agency by signing netminder Robin Lehner.
In a prime spot, the Blackhawks have been with Lehner from the fold to help shoulder the load Corey Crawford to improve on their album that is 36-34-12 from one year ago. In the end, Lehner was a Vezina Trophy finalist thanks to some 25-13-5 record,??2.13 goals-against ordinary and .930 save percentage in his one season with the New York Islanders.
Florida boasted one of the worst goaltending tandems in the league last year, but due to the fertility of Roberto Luongo and the transaction of James Reimer into the Carolina Hurricanes, the Panthers would have a new appearance in net after signing celebrity goalie Sergei Bobrovsky into some seven-year, $70-million deal.
With a franchise netminder in between the pipes, an offense that scored the ninth-most goals in 2018-19 (264) and one of the greatest trainers in the NHL at Joel Quenneville in his very first year on the bench, I expect the Panthers to be a playoff team and then soar over their 96.5-point projection.
