Daily NHL betting guide: November 8
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.

Line to Watch
Florida Panthers (@ NYR)
Even with a number of injuries, including Aleksander Barkov, Sam Bennett and Sergei Bobrovsky, the Panthers are still rolling. They are coming off an impressive win over the Hurricanes on Saturday without Barkov and get set to face a Rangers team that just finished an ugly road trip. New York has lost three in a row while averaging 5.0 goals against and 2.3 goals for.
The model likes the Panthers to win tonight but prefer them closer to -105 than -120. If there’s any movement towards the Rangers, make sure to jump on it.
