Frequently asked questions
How our NHL and hockey predictions are made
No tipster chooses the games here: a single statistical model does. Every day it runs on every hockey game in the leagues we follow — the NHL first, then the AHL, the KHL, the main leagues of Europe and junior and women’s hockey (see predictions by league or by team) — and each pick is published before the puck drops with the model’s own confidence figure beside it.
NHL predictions, game by game
The NHL leads the board. Every NHL game the model has a pick for is listed here before the puck drops, in your own time zone, with its picks — our NHL betting tips for the night — and the model’s trust beside each one. Each game also has a page of its own: the picks in every market, the model’s predicted final score and the starting goalies, then, open to everyone, both teams’ recent games, the head-to-head, the odds, the standings and, once it is over, every goal and penalty.
The first time the model picks one of its games, an NHL club gets a page of its own: the next game and its picks, the schedule and results, its record and form, and where it sits in the table.
What a pick is built from
The model works from the numbers that decide a hockey game: projected goals and shots, the starting goalies, special teams, recent form, rest and back-to-backs, the standings and the bookmakers’ current odds. Out of them comes a projected final score for both sides, which is then held up against the bookmakers’ lines. Where the two disagree there is a pick; where they agree there is not, which is why some games carry several picks and some carry one.
Moneyline, puck line and total
The moneyline pick is the winner, overtime and the shootout included. The puck line is the winner with a goal and a half given or taken — the favorite at -1.5 has to win by two. The total is whether the two teams together score more or fewer goals than the posted number. With European odds the same calls read as the 1X2 after 60 minutes, the handicap and the over/under. Every market is judged separately, with its own trust figure: one game may carry a moneyline pick and nothing more, another all three.
Best bets and the trust figure
The figure beside a pick is the model’s trust in it, worked out against the odds on offer, and the pick it trusts most in a game becomes that game’s best tip. A best tip at 90 or above puts the game on the NHL best bets of the day. Trust measures, it does not promise: the record shows how each trust band has really fared, and the parlay builder averages the same figure over the legs of every slip it suggests.
A record you can check
Picks go out before the puck drops and stay exactly as published. After the final horn each one is graded in public, and the track record files every graded pick by market and by trust band, slow days as well as good ones. Every pick is open to everyone, before its game as well as after it.
