Penguins Over/Unders Set for 2023-24 Season
The betting odds and numbers have been set for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
As August enters its final days and training camps for NHL teams creep closer, now is a great time to start looking at sports betting and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Over/unders have been set for a number of players and teams across the NHL, and a few prominent Penguins have their numbers set.
What key over/unders should fans watching during the 2023-24 season?
Sidney Crosby has been one of the best players in the NHL since he broke into the league in 2005, as even at the age of 36, great things are still expected.
For his 19th season in the show, Crosby is being giving an over/under of 90.5 points; his goal total has also been set at 31.5.
Crosby ended the 2022-23 season with 33 goals and 93 points while playing the full 82-game slate
Both 90.5 and 31.5 are possible numbers for Crosby to reach and not far fetched, even if he is continuing to age.
Jake Guentzel won’t be around to start the season thanks to ankle surgery, but his goal total is still a respectable for his talent.
Set at 37.5 for the 2023-24 season, Guentzel is lining up to once again lead the Penguins in goal scoring.
Last year, Guentzel appeared in 78 games and tallied a team-high 36 goals and a total of 73 poitns.
Tristan Jarry was given the vote of confidence by signing a five-year contract extension to stay in Pittsburgh, and the Penguins desperately need him to perform at an over the top level.
The team might need Jarry to coast around a career-high in wins, his over/under has been set at 28.5.
It’s a step up from his 24 wins in 2022-23, but Jarry will looks to far exceed that projection.
Erik Karlsson is a newcomer to the organization, but he brings a high pedigree and a three-time, and reigning Norris Trophy winner.
Will he repeat as the best defenseman in the NHL? It's unlikely, but he has been given +1600 odds to take home the hardware again at the end of the 2023-24 season.
Overall, the Penguins look like they are a team built for the postseason; as to how far they go that is yet to be determined.
The team missed the postseason by a point last year with 91 in total; for 2023-24, the Penguins’ over/under for total points has been set at 96.5.
The Penguins are primed and hungry for a vastly improved season and notching at least 97 standings points should be the first step to their ultimate goal.
