Bovada has set two NHL team’s 2015-16 win totals higher than the Chicago Blackhawks’ heading into next season.
Highest over/under win totals, per #BovadaLV:

Ducks: 49.5
Lightning: 48.5#Blackhawks: 47.5
Penguins: 47.5
Rangers: 46.5
The Blackhawks took down the Anaheim Ducks in the Western Conference Final in seven games before besting the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Stanley Cup Final in six games en route to hoisting another Stanley Cup.
A reason for the Blackhawks being listed lower than teams they beat last season could be due to the departures from the team this offseason.
Brandon Saad, Patrick Sharp and Kris Versteeg all will be wearing different colored sweaters in 2015-16.
