Anaheim Ducks: Las Vegas NHL over/under point totals review and predictions
By Ed Stein
Risky Propositions
We’ll give you our thoughts, but you’re on your own for betting.
Tampa Bay, 107.5 – Under. It’s going to be a dogfight between TBL and Toronto. Can they get the same ancillary scoring as last season? 107.5 is a big total for them.
Winnipeg, 106.5 – Over. Best in the west. They are a young team that’s good now and getting better. Connor Hellebuyck proves he one of the best
Pittsburgh, 103.5 – Under. They are on the downhill side, but should barely break 100 points.
Boston, 102.5 – Over. Not as good as the top two in the Atlantic, which will keep them from hitting the number. Tuukka Rask has been too shaky the last few years, to compete with the big teams.
St. Louis, 95.5 – Over. They are better than the team that collapsed last year, even without Paul Stastney. Look for goalie Jake Allen to have a rebound year.
Dallas, 94.5 – Over. The top of their lineup is very, very good. Depth will be their undoing. They will be better than 94.5, but not by much.
Colorado, 90.5 – Over. The Avs seem to be the sexy sleeper pick in some circles. They should be a bit better than the Westgate predicts.
Detroit, 75.5 – Under. They aren’t as good as Montreal, but they aren’t as bad as Ottawa.
Ottawa, 71.5 – Under. They are that bad and will be worse without Erik Karlsson.
