Expected Goals, Actual Opinions: Thoughts from around the NHL
By: Alex Moretto, Director of Content at the Hammer Betting Network

1.) Don’t have the time for a write-up this week as some stuff popped up unexpectedly, but I’ll be back with a full update next week before the break. I still wanted to post something quick that can offer some value, in addition to the injury update. So here are my top and bottom-10 teams in the NHL. These are my team ratings as of TONIGHT, which account for rosters as of this very second, factoring in current injuries. Think of it this way: if every NHL team played tonight at a neutral venue on equal rest, these ratings account for which teams would be favored over all the teams ranked below them in a hypothetical matchup. For the day-to-day players (Andrei Vasilevskiy, Brandon Hagel, Brandon Montour, Ryan McDonagh, Shea Theodore, etc) I am considering them as healthy for the sake of this exercise.

1. Colorado Avalanche
2. Tampa Bay Lightning
3. Carolina Hurricanes
4. Vegas Golden Knights
5. Dallas Stars
6. Edmonton Oilers
7. Washington Capitals
8. Florida Panthers
9. Minnesota Wild
10. Ottawa Senators
…
23. Philadelphia Flyers
24. Boston Bruins
25. Pittsburgh Penguins
26. Calgary Flames
27. Nashville Predators
28. Vancouver Canucks
29. St. Louis Blues
30. San Jose Sharks
31. Seattle Kraken
32. Chicago Blackhawks
