NHL Season Secrets: Uncover the Surprising Strengths, Hidden Weaknesses, and Game-Changing X Factors for Every Team
Most likely award winner: Jimmy Snuggerud, Calder
Fantasy outlook: St. Louis is chock full of underappreciated fantasy talent, like top center Robert Thomas, who averaged 1.10 points/game over the past two seasons. Or power-play anchor Cam Fowler, who collected 36 points in 51 games after joining the Blues from Anaheim last season.
Bold prediction: Jimmy Snuggerud will be a Calder Trophy finalist
Last season: 39-36-7 (85 points), missed playoffs
Stanley Cup odds: +3000
Projected points: 82.6
Biggest strength: New York’s backbone is its goaltender Igor Shesterkin. He’s the Rangers’ most important player, capable of stealing victories and being the calm in New York’s chaos. That was especially true last season, when Shesterkin posted career-low numbers (with a .905 SV%) that don’t reflect just how poorly the Rangers supported him.
