Daily NHL betting guide: April 15
Getting a little skin in the game can make watching NHL hockey even more exciting.
During the 2021-22 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 PointsBet), 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:
All “Recommended Bets” are 1 unit wagers.
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.

Yaremchuk’s Pick – Islanders in regulation (+100)
The Islanders are 6-4-0 in their last ten games and the Habs have lost three in a row. The Isles have shockingly been one of the best teams in the entire NHL over the last month, picking up the 9th most points in the NHL since March 15th. Montreal is 25th in that span. I like the Islanders to roll at home.
Yaremchuk’s Prop – Brock Nelson over 0.5 assists (+185)
We are getting fantastic odds on this prop considering Nelson has hit this in three of his last four games. He also had two helpers in the teams last game against the Penguins. Considering this is a solid matchup for the Isles, I love this play.
