It would be hard for the 2019-20 National Hockey League season to turn out any more crazily than last year. After all, the Stanley Cup winners (the St. Louis Blues) had not been to a final since their first year of existence, a year when their entire conference was made of expansion teams. The Blues were in last place in the Western Conference at the start of 2019, but then they went on an historic tear that did not stop until they hoisted the storied chalice. The Tampa Bay Lightning are the odds-on favorites to win the Stanley Cup this year, but that was also true last year — and they got swept out of the first round of the playoffs by Columbus. What can we expect to see this year? See if our predictions can help you figure out your NHL betting for the coming campaign.
