Daily NHL Betting Guide – 02/27/23

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 💰
Ottawa Senators (vs. DET) ML -124
The Senators play back-to-back games vs. the Red Wings on Monday/Tuesday, and tonight they’ll face Magnus Hellberg instead of Ville Husso. Hellberg has been decent this season, posting a .903 SV% in nine games with the Red Wings, much worse than we’ve seen from Husso, who has posted a .925 SV% in his last 13 games. In the last month, Ottawa has quietly won eight of their last 12 while averaging 3.7 goals for and 2.8 goals against per game.
- 1 Unit Bet: OTT ML -124
Vancouver Canucks (@ DAL) ML +239
You can sprinkle 0.5 unit on the Canucks tonight, seeing as they are massive underdogs with a top-line playing as good as any in the NHL right now. However, injuries are mounting on the back end, with Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Luke Schenn and Ethan Bear all out. J.T. Miller also won’t play, so they are getting thin down the middle as well. The confidence level is not high on this recommendation.
- 0.5 Unit Bet: VAN ML +239
