Daily NHL Betting Guide – 01/26/23
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. DET) ML +148
Despite a ton of injuries, the Canadiens are still playing competitively and draw a pretty nice matchup vs. the Red Wings on Thursday. Detroit has lost seven of 11 games (4-6-1) while averaging 2.8 goals for and 3.5 goals against per game in January. Montreal may get Jake Allen back between the pipes on Thursday, and he’s been lights out in two games vs. the Red Wings this season. He stopped 37 of 38 shots in a 3-0 loss in October 41 of 43 shots in a 3-2 win in November. With the Red Wings on the front-end of a back-to-back, Montreal could get an added boost with Magnus Hellberg starting instead of Ville Husso. Even if the model hasn’t reacted accordingly to the Canadiens’ injuries, there’s so much wiggle room on the +148 line (+15%) that we can consider it on Thursday.
1 unit bet: MTL ML +148
