NHL Betting Volume in the East
With the NHL regular season about to open, some early betting favorites are becoming evident based on the sports betting action so far at LinesMaker. Yesterday we took a look at the top contenders in the western Conference and today we look at the top five teams in the East based on the overall betting volume of our customers.
Pittsburgh Penguins: Last year’s Stanley Cup Champions are the clear favorite to repeat this season. Along with a decent support cast, Crosby and Malkin alone are enough to keep the Pens serious contention.
Philadelphia Flyers: The Flyers have remarkable offensive depth with Carter, Richards, Briere, Gagne. It is clear Pronger will bolster the blue line and Matt Carle has had a strong training camp. Ray Emery’s has been solid in net.
Washington Capitals: The Capitals are not a well rounded team but can produce offensively as well as any team in the league. Beyond Mike Green the defense is questionable and neither Varlamov nor Theodore have taken the lead in net.
Boston Bruins: The Bruins are very tough up led by gritty wingers Milan Lucic and Blake Wheeler. Tim Tuukka are a strong 1–2 combination in net and Chara continues to lead the defense. They ought to easily lead their division.
New Jersey Devils: With Jacques Lemaire back at the helm, opponents will soon be strangled by the dreaded neutral zone trap. A more defensive approach this year may provide difficulties in transition for players such as Parise. Goaltending is likely to be steady with Broduer.
