The NHL season delivers nonstop betting opportunities, from October’s first puck drop to the chase for the Stanley Cup in June.
With 82 games per team, plus an intense postseason, bettors who follow the ebbs and flows of form, travel, and injuries can gain a serious edge. At Winners & Whiners, we’re on the ice every night breaking down all the action.
Betting the NHL goes far beyond looking at win-loss records. Some factors our handicappers analyze:
Goaltending Matchups: The most important position in hockey, hot goalies swing both spreads and totals.
Special Teams: Power play and penalty kill efficiency often decide tight contests.
Schedule Factors: Back-to-backs, long road trips, and cross-country travel can sap a team’s legs.
Injury Impact: Even losing a second-line defenseman can disrupt chemistry and create value.
