With the puck set to drop on Wednesday night to open the NHL season, Bodog has released its 2018-19 NHL player points stats list projecting over-under total points odds.

Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid leads the way at 107.5, the only player to break a 100-point projection.

The Pittsburgh Penguins’ Sidney Crosby and the Tampa Bay Lightning’s Nikita Kucherov are both tied for second at 93.5.

The top 11 consists of forwards from 10 different teams. Rounding out the top 11 are Nathan MacKinnon (88.5), Evgeni Malkin (87.5), Claude Giroux (84.5), Evgeny Kuznetsov (84.5), Brad Marchand (84.5), Jamie Benn (82.5), Taylor Hall (82.5) and Blake Wheeler (82.5).

For Canadian teams, Toronto Maple Leafs forwards Auston Matthews and John Tavares are notably tied at 80.5 apiece, with Mitch Marner coming in at 72.5. Matthews and Tavares are entrenched as the top two centres for the Leafs, while Marner is expected to line up alongside Tavares on the wing.

Jonathan Drouin tops the Habs at 52.5 as he projects to shift back to his natural wing position this year after a full season at centre in 2017-18. Last year’s point leader for the Habs, Brendan Gallagher checks in at 50.5, with off-season acquisition Max Domi projected at 45.5.

For the Ottawa Senators, right winger Mark Stone unsurprisingly leads the way at 62.5. Mikkel Boedker and Matt Duchene round out the Sens' top three at 58.5 and 38.5 respectively.

Out west, the Winnipeg Jets have the aforementioned Wheeler in the top 11. He is followed by the Jets’ no.1 centre Mark Scheifele and Finnish sniper Patrik Laine, who rank with 77.5 and 71.5 odds, respectively.

After McDavid’s 107.5 to top the league, the next best odds on the Oilers belong to Leon Draisaitl (72.5) followed by Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (60.5). In Calgary, Johnny Gaudreau leads the way for the Flames (81.5) with linemate Sean Monahan next at 64.5 and noted pest Matthew Tkachuk clocking in 54.5.

In Vancouver, second-year sniper Brock Boeser is at the top for the Canucks (63.5) while potential Calder Trophy finalist Elias Pettersson (54.5) ranks ahead of Bo Horvat (49.5) to complete their top three.

Besides Petterson, the only other rookie to appear on the list with projected odds is Detroit Red Wings forward Filip Zadina (34.5), who is expected to make the NHL jump after being taken sixth overall in the 2018 NHL draft.

Some other notable names on the list include two San Jose Sharks defencemen in Erik Karlsson (74.5) and Brent Burns (69.5), reigning Stanley Cup champion Alexander Ovechkin (80.5), Steven Stamkos (77.5), Vladimir Tarasenko (71.5), Anze Kopitar (79.5) and Aleksander Barkov (74.5).
