At the onset of the season, there was the naïve NHL betting hope that the Blackhawks would be back. Chicago finished 2018-19 strong after a terrible start and that looks to be fool’s gold. So far, the Blackhawks have lacked the secondary scoring and defensive depth necessary for a true contender. In the same way, the Golden Knights were a popular Stanley Cup pick. Vegas has been one of the most successful expansion franchises in NHL history. However, Vegas has been wildly inconsistent and often sloppy. In particular, the back end has been a source of irritation.
