2018-19 NHL Regular Season Points Tracker: Odds for All 31 Teams
- Sportsbooks have posted regular-season point totals for the 2018-19 NHL season.
- The Lightning had the highest at 106.5, which turned out to be absurdly low for the 128-point team.
- The lowest total belonged to the Senators (69.5), who finished the year with just 64 points.
The 2018-19 NHL season was memorable for a multitude of reasons. The most memorable moment was, of course, the St. Louis Blues winning their first Stanley Cup in franchise history, but it will also go down as the year the record-setting Tampa Bay Lightning were swept in the first round.
As the 2018-19 point totals (below) illustrate, expectations were high for Tampa from the outset. They started the year with the highest point total O/U in the league at 106.5. They would smash that projection by going 62-16-4, good enough for 128 points.
At the other end of the spectrum, the rebuilding Senators couldn’t even sniff their NHL-low point total O/U of 69.5, picking up just 64 points on the year.
