Where can I find NHL picks today?

Right here. We post a free pick and preview for every game on today’s NHL card, usually by the night before, with the hockey betting odds at the time of posting.

What’s the puck line in NHL betting?

It’s hockey’s version of a point spread, almost always set at 1.5 goals. The favorite has to win by two or more to cover at -1.5, and the underdog at +1.5 covers by winning or losing by just one goal. Our hockey previews say when the puck line is a better bet than the moneyline.

How much do starting goalies affect NHL picks?

More than any other single player in a team sport! Swapping a starter for a backup can move a line 20 to 40 cents, so our NHL picks factor in confirmed or projected starters, and we flag games where the goalie is still uncertain. If there is a goalie change, don’t bet the pick or… make sure you are still getting market value.

Do back-to-backs matter when betting hockey?

They do. Teams on the second night of a back-to-back, especially after travel, often start their backup goalie and fade late in games. It’s one of the most reliable situational angles in NHL betting, and our cappers watch the schedule closely. Ultimately it is about value. Any play can be a positive expectation is priced right!

Are premium NHL picks guaranteed?

Guaranteed NHL packages that finish without a profit get the full purchase price back as site credit, applied automatically to your account. Picks in articles are leans from our writer handicappers while the best handicappers will share their personal plays as premiums.
