Daily NHL betting guide: November 14
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.
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.

Proceed with Caution ⚠️
New York Rangers (vs. NJD)
Through the first part of the season, the Rangers have been one of the worst 5v5 teams in hockey. They are coming off of a big win in Columbus last night but were once again outplayed at 5v5. They rank last in the NHL in xGF% (41.13) and will likely turn to Alexandar Georgiev on Sunday. Georgiev is the main reason to stay away, but I can get behind the model if they go back to Igor Shesterkin, who Gerard Gallant called “an option” after Saturday’s win.
Coach Gallant: Shesterkin is “100 percent” and is available as an option tomorrow.
— New York Rangers (@NYRangers) November 14, 2021The Devils are on a back-to-back as well but will have their No.1 (Mackenzie Blackwood) in net. Their struggles at 5v5 and the potential talent disparity in between the pipes are causes for concern.
