Daily NHL Betting Guide – 01/07/23
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 💰
Detroit Red Wings (@ TOR) ML +295
The Red Wings are in a tough spot tonight, travelling to Toronto on a back-to-back with Magnus Hellberg getting the start. Still, they aren’t as bad as the +295 line suggests. The model views them as +246 underdogs, so there’s value here. Toronto hasn’t been sharp this week either, losing two in a row to the Blues and Kraken. Ilya Samsonov gets the start, and he’s allowed three-plus goals in four straight games, posting an ugly .850 SV%.
1 Unit Bet: DET +295
Colorado Avalanche (@ EDM) ML +110
Colorado is starting to get healthier, but their results have gotten worse. They enter Saturday on a five-game losing streak, averaging just 2.6 goals per game. Edmonton continues to be inconsistent, so getting the Avalanche as +110 underdogs is good value. The model views them as -110 favourites, so take the plus-money and run!
1 Unit Bet: COL +110
