Welcome to the NHL Futures page, a continuation of the 2022-23 Hockey Betting Guide. Here you will find projected point total, chances of making the playoffs and chances of winning the division for all 32 teams.
Projected standings as of Monday, Nov. 7th
It’s been one month since the NHL dropped the puck on the regular season. Some teams I had projected to miss the playoffs, like the New Jersey Devils, now look like a lock to qualify, while other teams that I had high hopes for, like the Washington Capitals, have run into some trouble. There’s still time for things to sort themselves out, but with teams now approaching the 15-game mark, it’s time to take another look at the projected standings. If history is any indication, roughly three out of four teams that are in a playoff spot at Thanksgiving will qualify, so the next two and a half weeks are going to be crucial in determining which teams are real and which teams are not.
