Daily NHL Betting Guide – 12/05/22

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 PointsBet odds. To find out how odds turn into percentages, use our Odds Calculator.

Recommended Bets

Colorado Avalanche (@ PHI) ML -184

The Avalanche are incredibly banged up. On Monday, they’ll be without the following:

  • Gabriel Landeskog
  • Valeri Nichushkin
  • Artturi Lehkonen
  • Evan Rodrigues
  • Darren Helm
  • Josh Manson
  • Bowen Byram
  • Kurtis MacDermid

The lineup that they could create with those players may be able to beat the Flyers, who will be without the following:

  • Sean Couturier
  • James van Riemsdyk
  • Cam Atkinson
  • Wade Allison
  • Bobby Brink
  • Ryan Ellis

Aside from an ugly 5-1 loss in Boston on Saturday, the Avalanche have done a nice job managing their injuries. Since the start of November, they’ve gone 9-4-0 while averaging 3.5 goals for and 2.6 goals against. They should be able to handle the Flyers tonight. They are -184 road favourites but model likes them up to -192.

2 Unit Bet: COL -184
