With the NHL season set to get underway in just a few hours, every team will enter this shortened season with hopes of making the playoffs.
Las Vegas, who of course gives betters the chance to wager on Stanley Cup odds, recently listed their projected win totals for each team this coming season.
A quick look shows the Rangers, Penguins and Canucks as the top teams, with the Islanders and Blue Jackets destined for poor seasons.
Also, both the Canadiens and Maple Leafs are set at 22 wins each.

Who do you see winning the Stanley Cup this season?
I’d take the over on Edmonton, Nashville, and Tampa. I have a feeling will surprise if Hedman breaks out in and they get compitent tending from Lindback. Barry Trotz will somehow get Nashville in to the 8 seed. As for the under I might take the Canucks. Scary lack of depth up front with these injuries and Luongo Schnieder crap could be a bit of a distraction.
Bet the over for Phoenix. 3rd from the bottom is ridiculous.
