Daily NHL Betting Guide – 01/09/23

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 💰

Montreal Canadiens (vs. SEA) ML +182

Over their last 10 games, the Canadiens have the second-worst xGF% (38.0), but Seattle has been only marginally better (46.4 – 26th). Seattle are massive favourites (-205), so Montreal has a ton of value at +182, according to our model. I would feel better about it if Jake Allen was in net for Montreal, but Sam Montembeault has been great in his only two starts in Montreal. He’s 2-0-0 while allowing just four goals on 61 shots (.934 SV%) in two games at the Bell Centre.

1 Unit Bet: MTL +182
