The 2022-23 NHL season starts this week. The Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators are the beginning teams. All numbers are via . Gambling.com. Canada. There will be Canadian betting previews several days a week and a "What Have We Learned" column every Monday.
The Toronto Maple Leafs are among the few teams near the top of the odds. Toronto has not advanced to the second round of Stanley Cup playoffs since 2004. The prudent betting for Ontario Sports Bettors is to avoid any Stanley Cups Futures for Toronto. Auston Matthews is a good value at 2.98 to win the Rocket Richard Trophy.
Sheldon Keefe for the Jack Adams Award is a bad bet. The Atlantic Division odds are not juicy enough. Matt Murray's save percentage is at 1.79. Mitch Marner's Under 31 goals is an interesting prop. William Nylander's Over 105 points is also a good prop at an even 1:85.
Auston Matthews is worth 2.98 points. Mitch Marner is under 31.5 goals at 1.91 points, Matt Murray under .9095 save percentage at 1:79, and Auston Matthew over 105 points at .85.
Auston Matthews is over 105 points at 1.85. Mitch Marner is under 31.5 goals at 191. Matt Murray is below .9095 save percentage at .79.
The Ottawa Senators are a team with a lot of uncertainty. Cam Talbot is injured and Anton Forsberg is out for a month. Alex Formenton and Drew Batherson's involvement in a Hockey Canada sex scandal is unknown. Ottawa's playoff chances are 1.40. The Over on Tkachuk goals is 31.5 points and the Over 37. 5 goals are both 1,85.

Connor McDavid led the NHL with 123 points last season. He might be one of the better candidates to take the Hart Trophy. He was not happy losing to Auston Matthews last year.
Connor McDavid is going to win the Hart Trophy and the Stanley Cup. Connor McDonovan is also going over 124.5 points at 1.85.
Connor McDavid is over 124.5 points at 1.85. Edmonton Oilers are going to win the Stanley Cup at 16.13.
