With anticipation building, sportsbetting.ag has released its over-under season point totals for each team, giving fans an indication as to how all 32 teams are expected to compete throughout the season.
Leading the way is the Carolina Hurricanes, which have an over-under of 110.5 points. Both the Edmonton Oilers and Toronto Maple Leafs are tied for the best among Canadian teams, with an over-under of 106.5.
