Daily NHL Betting Guide – 01/05/23
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 💰
Vegas Golden Knights (vs. PIT) ML -105
The Golden Knights will get Jack Eichel and Paul Cotter back in the lineup on Thursday. They will put Eichel on the second line, since the top line (Amadio-Stephenson-Stone) has been red-hot in his absence. This makes the Golden Knights a much deeper squad and you get a nice price for them still, at -105 on home ice. The Penguins will be turning to Casey DeSmith with Tristan Jarry injured and remain without Kris Letang (personal). They have been struggling as of late, losing five in a row while scoring just 2.2 goals per game. The model likes Vegas as -132 favourites, so you’re getting a lot of value here.
1 Unit Bet: VGK -105
