Vegas odds have Penguins' 100-point streak ending this season
It’s a good bet that the Pittsburgh Penguins are about to see their streak of four consecutive 100-point seasons come to an end, if Vegas odds are to be believed.
The Penguins are projected for 94.5 points in BetOnline.AG’s season point totals, which were released Tuesday.
That puts the Penguins in third place in the Metropolitan Division, behind the Capitals (96.5) and Hurricanes (95.5) but ahead of the Islanders (93.5), Flyers (90.5), Devils (88.5), Rangers (87.5) and Blue Jackets (84.5).
The Lightning (108.5) have the highest projected point total. The Senators (68.5) have the lowest.
Last summer, the Vegas over-under for Penguins points was 103.5. They didn’t hit that mark, finishing in third place in the division with 100 points.
