NHL 22/23 betting tips: Season outright preview, Stanley Cup predictions and picks

NHL 22/23 betting tips include season outright preview, Stanley Cup predictions and picks.

Carolina Hurricanes are 16/1 to win the Stanley Cup at Sky Bet.

Logan Thompson is the favourite to win the Calder Memorial Trophy at 20/1.

Miro Heiskanen is the favourite to win the James Norris Memorial Trophy at 22/1.

Quinn Hughes is the favourite to win the James Norris Memorial Trophy at 22/1.

The 2022/23 NHL season begins with the Colorado Avalanche looking to defend their crown. The season actually began with games in the Czech Republic, as Nashville Predators beat San Jose Sharks in Prague. The 82-game regular season campaign aims to establish who is in a good position going into the post-season playoffs.

Carolina Hurricanes are the favourite to win the Stanley Cup. Colorado won the Cup in 21/22. St. Louis Blues were 11th in the betting before the puck dropped. Carolina Hurricanes were 5/1 to won Metropolitan Division in last season's preview. Montreal Canadiens have a lot of new players, including Max Pacioretty, Paul Stastny and Ondrej Kase. They have good depth and a good penalty killing unit. Carolina Canes are 16/10 favourites to take the title. The Can'tes were a very strong penalty kill unit in previous seasons.

Cale Makar won the Norris Trophy last season. He's a clear favourite in the market. Miro Heiskanen, Quinn Hughes and John Klingberg are other good bets.  Heisken registered 36 points last year, 31 of which were assists. Hughes registered 68 points in 21/22, with 60 of those coming as assists, and he plays on the left side of the defence pairing. The bookmakers are slightly favouring a post-season appearance for Vancouver Canucks. They are a question mark for the playoffs. Calgary and Edmonton are the favourites for Alberta. Vancouver is also a possibility for Calgary.

The Calder Trophy is an open one this season. Mason McTavish, Owen Power and Matty Beniers are the favourites. Dylan Holloway is the favourite to win the award. Logan Thompson is a 20/1 chance to take the Calder. He is trying to nail down the starting goalie spot with the Golden Knights. Robin Lehner is out for the season so Thompson will get a chance. The winner will be announced on the opening day of the new NHL season on October 1st. NHL pre-season gives us a good indication of who could be in the running to be awarded the trophy.
