Daily NHL Betting Guide – 03/17/23

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.

1 Unit Bet: STL ML +156

The Blues’ offence has improved recently, largely thanks to the deadline addition of Jakub Vrana. The Blues have won two of their last four while averaging 4.3 goals per game, so they should be able to provide Joel Hofer with some goal support in his third NHL appearance. The Capitals were also sellers at the deadline and have maintained solid play, but the model thinks the STL +156 line is too high. The model sees the Blues as +117 underdogs.
