REGULAR SEASON RECAP AND UPCOMING GAMES

Oddsmakers expected them to win 46.5 based on their money line game odds. Their 43-32-7 record last season failed to meet expectations. Putting a 100 units on them to win every game would have cost you -1070 units. They were not good on puck lines going 32-50 (-1008 loss). They went over 37 times and came in under 41 times. They are favored in their upcoming game vs the San Jose Sharks. The table below shows their upcoming games, their simulation based win percentage and their recent head to head record (WL, ATS, OU).
