Tips for Betting on the NHL

With our tips for betting on the NHL, you can ensure you are on the right track with your betting, making no mistakes and giving yourself the best chance of success.

Firstly, the schedule is vital to your betting, make sure you understand where the two teams are when you are betting on them. It is not uncommon to see a team playing their second game in two days, going up against a team that have had three days rest. If travel is involved for the first team on top of that, fatigue is going to play a huge part in what happens on the ice.

Secondly, always make sure you check out the goalie matchup. Almost all teams have a regular starter, with a back up that will play around 20 of the 82 games in the season. Check to see which goalies are playing, this can help with many markets. If your team is playing against a backup, then you may consider them to have even more chance of winning, so you may bet on the puck line rather than the money line. Alternatively, if both backup goalies play, does this point to more goals in the game, and do you want to wager on the โ€˜overโ€™ selection in the total goals market?

Finally, recent form is important to look at. With 82 games across many months, teams will go in and out of form, even the best in the league. Look for small runs where teams excel or disappoint, and try to jump in while you can. Overall, a team may look good and be in a good league position, but if they have lost three of their last four, this may be the time to go against them.
