Daily NHL Betting Guide – 12/30/22
Welcome to our Betting Guide brought to you by NHL Betting site Betway!
Getting a little skin in the game can make watching NHL hockey even more exciting.
During the 2022-23 season, Daily Faceoff will help you become an improved bettor thanks to this betting model and our betting tools.
NHL MODEL PICKS
Each day we will look at each game, the Sportsbook Odds (via Betway), and the odds of each team winning based on the model created by Philip Bulsink. Based on those two numbers, we can quickly identify which teams we need to bet on, which teams to avoid and which lines to keep an eye on throughout the day.
You can quickly determine which teams are the best bets by following this simple table:
I will also provide some analysis on the best bets and update this post throughout the day to point out big injury news, lineup changes, and backup goalies starting.
The number to keep an eye on is the “Diff.” which is the percentage difference between the model’s projected Win% and the projected Win% based on Betway odds. To find out how odds turn into percentages, use our Odds Calculator.

Recommended Bets 💰
Pittsburgh Penguins (vs. NJD) ML -118
The Penguins are going to be hungry for a win tonight after getting blown out by the Islanders on Tuesday and blowing a 4-0 lead to the Red Wings on Wednesday. They’ll take on a Devils team that has lost eight of their last nine games while averaging just 2.2 goals for and 3.7 goals against per game. The Penguins sit as -118 favourites, but the model views them at -152.
1 Unit Bet: PIT ML -118
Edmonton Oilers (@ SEA) ML -112
The Oilers are -112 road favourites in Seattle, but the model views them as -142 favourites. The problem for the Oilers is Leon Draisaitl is questionable to play. He’s missed practice the last two days, and head coach Jay Woodcroft said “we’ll see” when asked if Draisaitl will play in Seattle. Monitor this situation throughout the day and hit the -112 if Draisaitl is declared in. Avoid it if he sits.
1 Unit Bet: EDM ML -112 (only if Draisaitl plays).
