Daily NHL betting guide: November 16
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.

Recommended Bet
Nashville Predators (@ TOR)
This is definitely a tough matchup for the Predators but they present enough value at +167 for the model to recommend a bet. Nashville has surprised everyone through the first month of the season and come into Toronto on a three-game winning streak. They are among the top-10 defensive teams in hockey, ranking fourth in xGA/60 (2.05), 12th in SCA/60 (26.18) and seventh in HDCA/60 (9.46). Toronto is one of the best offensive teams in the league, so it will be an intriguing battle. Saros is capable of stealing this game for the underdogs. He’s 6-0-1 with a 1.69 GAA and .944 SV% in his last seven starts.
