The wait is over! Tuesday marks the start of a new NHL season, as Nashville and Tampa Bay, Chicago and Pittsburgh, and Seattle and Vegas all face off on opening night.

If you’ve been taking it easy over the offseason and are a little unprepared for things to get going again, we’ve got you covered. Below are Canada Sports Betting‘s previews, features, and tools that will help you not only prepare for the NHL season, but be ahead of the curve by the time you’re done reading!

NHL Canadian Team Betting Projections

Looking for some hints on your favourite teams? Well, over the course of the summer, we touched on all seven Canadian teams!

Andy MacNeil, who spent last season as Hockey Night in Canada‘s on-air betting analyst, joined the Canada Sports Betting team in September. His weekday podcast, The Puck Portfolio, will help keep you informed throughout the season. To kick things off, Andy has used his projection model to predict the course of the NHL season for all 32 teams, with more detailed written posts on the teams that matter most to you.

You’ll get a season forecast with their most likely point distributions, a bit of detail about why the team is in the situation that they’re in, and a few bets that look promising involving them based on the model’s projections.
