Vancouver Canucks
The best team in the NHL this season has been the Vancouver Canucks and they are lethal when scoring first. The Canucks are 24-1-3 when getting the first goal of the game. When they get a lead after two periods they are almost unbeatable at 22-0-3.
Dallas Stars

Detroit Red Wings

What about teams that are no bargain at the sportsbook website when scoring first? New Jersey is losing games left and right and it doesn’t matter much if they score first or not. They are 8-7-2 when getting the first goal of the game. The Atlanta Thrashers are 14-9-5 when scoring the game’s first goal but that is not really a very good mark considering they have 14 losses when scoring first.

The Islanders are 0-16-2 when trailing after two; the Ducks are 0-13-4 when trailing after two while Ottawa is 0-14-3 when losing after two.
