Daily NHL Betting Guide – 01/28/23
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 (@ OTT) ML +213
The Canadiens will face a Senators team that played in Toronto last night. With Cam Talbot out, Anton Forsberg will have to start on back-to-back nights. The Canadiens will have a fresh Sam Montembeault, who hasn’t played since Tuesday. He’s been stellar as of late, going 4-4-0 while posting an impressive .930 SV%. The model has the Canadiens as +158 underdogs, so the margin to them at +213 is great.
1 Unit Bet: MTL +213
Columbus Blue Jackets (@ SEA) ML +217
The Blue Jackets had a tough loss in Vancouver last night, but the Kraken are coming off a loss as well, losing to the Flames on Friday night. Injuries have been mounting for the Kraken, as they’ll be without Matty Beniers, Jaden Schwartz, and Justin Schultz. Injuries are nothing new for Columbus, who have battled them all season. They are massive +217 road underdogs, but the model thinks it’s closer to +165.
1 unit bet: CBJ ML +217
