We have already seen some big moves like Carolina going all in and grabbing Jake Guentzel from Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay acquiring Anthony Duclair from San Jose. The Nashville Predators have an interesting day in front of them, as they are on a heater but have been widely expected to sell at the deadline.

Once more, it is time to see who the moneymakers are in respect to the game totals over the team’s last 10 games. With the trade deadline just a day away, teams are going to need to assess whether or not to add offensive firepower or goaltending sturdiness to improve their teams and make a run to the playoffs. So, with that being stated, it is good to do some more research for game total decisions over the next week or so, because some of these streaks may change depending on who is added or subtracted as we head into the weekend.

With the NHL season schedule hitting the home stretch, and the trade deadline a week away, it is time for teams to hunker down and get ready for a playoff push. Three of the four division leaders have small leads of five points or less, while Vancouver’s 10-point lead over Vegas is the largest separation between the top two teams in any division. The Eastern Conference Wild Card spots seem to both belong to the Atlantic Division, with Detroit Red Wings and Tampa Bay Lightning clinging to six- and eight-point leads. As for the Western Conference, the Nashville Predators and Los Angeles Kings control the wild cards by seven points. With all that said, let’s revisit some trendy futures and see where the money is at.
