At the start of every NHL season, there are plenty of opportunities to find value when wagering on team point totals. Here are nine teams that look like good value on the Over for their projected 2022-23 NHL regular-season win totals.
When trying to judge a team's quality and how that might affect their points in the standings, it is useful to know where they have finished in recent seasons, and what kind of major transactions are going to affect the roster. Every team has some turnover in the offseason, but adding or subtracting from the core of the team is really what drives results.
There is always going to be a degree of uncertainty because of the season-long time frame. If a team gets hit by an especially bad run of injuries, it is going to be difficult to overcome. It happened to the Vegas Golden Knights last season. Those are the breaks of the game, but these teams head into the season with legitimate expectations that they can hit the Over on their team total (odds via DraftKings Sportsbook, FanDuel Sportsbook, Caesars Sportsbook, BetMGM, PointsBet, and Barstool Sportsbook).
Best NHL Team Point Total Overs
This is a lofty total, but FanDuel is coming in lower than the other top sportsbooks. The Avalanche had 119 points last season and were on a 120-point pace in the season before that, so this team should still play to a level that is Over the number.
