Predictions for the 2022-23 season

The Bruins have been spectacular thus far. If they keep their current pace, they’ll approach 130 points. That is less than double their current number of points. They have more games on the road than at home in the second half of the season. They haven’t lost a game regular time at home and their four losses have come on the road.

The model does not expect the Kings to keep winning at the same rate. Their differential is -1 and that does not fit with their 24-14-6 record.
