My Sharks confidence is waning but Utah has struggled lately and played last night, so I'll take a shot on SJ moneyline +124 (my sister bet it at +115). Check out my week 6 betting report for all the latest #NHLbetting trends and all my Tuesday bets, no subscription required. 📈

The 5-15 Flames are favored on the road against 9-9 Chicago, likely due to their expected even strength shot share advantage. Hawks have overachieved and due for negative regression, but I'll roll the dice on their ML -105, my sister too. Get more #NHLbets for tonight on my blog!

My pick for Islanders at Dallas posted yesterday on my blog is NYI +1.5 goals. Stars won 5-straight but just lost Harley, while Isles covered +1.5 in 12 of their last 16 GP. My sister betting this too. Check out my blog (link in bio) for #NHLbets on every game tonight! 📈

If you bet $100 on the opposite of my over/under pick for all 300 NHL games this season, you're up nearly $2,000. 🤔 #BettingTips

It was a bumpy ride on the Ducks #NHLbetting bandwagon this week, but the surging Oilers offset the losses.....(checks tonight's scoreboard)..... 😔 At least the Leafs slump is providing a lucrative opportunity.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have moved into first place in my #NHLbetting profitability rankings. My picks have a higher return with #LeafsForever than any other team. But it's not a marketing opportunity to sell my bets to Leaf fans because most profit coming from Leaf losses.

Reviewing my Sunday #NHLbets shared here yesterday:

Pittsburgh ML ✅ under 6.5 ✅
Vancouver +1.5 ✅ U6.5 ❌
Minnesota ML ✅ U6.5 ✅
Rangers ML ❌ O5.5 ❌
Colorado ML ✅ U6.5 ✅

Sorry, over/under not shared here because my OU bets are struggling lately, but good today.

Detroit followed up their big win against Anaheim with a big loss to Buffalo. Rangers are 1-7 at home, but on a 1-game home winning streak. Given my Detroit bias, I’m going to tail my hottest models (and best Sunday model) on NYR ML. #NHLbets
November 16, 2025 at 3:01 AM
My best & worst models have a very similar preference in Nashville @ Pittsburgh but their enthusiasm for Preds -1.5 goals is just their dog fetish. NSH covered -1.5 once in their last 13 games. They just beat Pens 2-1 last game, but I’ll take the home favorite tomorrow. #NHLpicks
November 16, 2025 at 2:59 AM
Avalanche have a 5-game winning streak, Islanders also hot with 4-straight Ws. My best betting models like Colorado moneyline so that's going to be my pick, but I acknowledge NYI is better than my brain thinks. We'll see if that lasts. #NHLbetting
November 16, 2025 at 2:57 AM
Tampa is playing Florida today, Vancouver tomorrow, and it’s Hockeynomics policy to never pay -198 for a team on a back-to-back. Vancouver has lost 3-straight and 6 of their last 10, but I’m going to take them +1.5 goals because Tampa bad covering -1.5 this year. #NHLbets
November 16, 2025 at 2:57 AM
Minnesota won 5 of their last 7 games, Vegas 2 of 9 (beating St. Louis tonight in 2nd period). One team is getting hot, the other is not. My 3 hottest models love home moneyline, so that’s my pick. Vegas actually favored in this one, and the fair line estimator agrees. #NHLbets
November 16, 2025 at 2:56 AM
NHL pucklines -1.5 goals are getting ravaged in November, but here are the teams producing the best results this month, whether betting for or against. Nobody would have predicted before the season that those 4 teams would be atop the leaderboard at this stage. #NHLBetting
November 13, 2025 at 3:46 AM
If you bet $100 on every home favorite -1.5 goals in November, you’ve lost nearly $2,000. The crash started before November, so I’ve only made 6 puckline bets this month, going 0-6. I’m actually taking a bigger loss on home faves moneyline, as road dogs surge. #BettingTips

Columbus played Edmonton last night, Seattle tonight, and I'm shorting the back-to-back. My models flocked to Kraken -1.5 goals, but I'm lacking sufficient confidence in the host to tail, plus pucklines are crashing, which you can read about in my Week 5 #NHLBetting Report! 🧐
November 11, 2025 at 11:42 PM
There's emerging evidence Minnesota's struggles have ended, but Sharks won 5 of their last 6 games and already won in Minnesota this season. I'm happy getting +180, my sister bet that at +175. Check out my blog for more #NHLBetting trends-bets-analysis for tonight's action. 📈
November 11, 2025 at 11:30 PM
Check out my blog for bets on all tonight's games and a review of leaguewide #NHLBetting trends last 7 days. My pick in LA at Montreal is Kings +1.5 goals, but my sister doesn't like the line on Play Now, so decided to take Habs moneyline because it moved to +100.
November 11, 2025 at 11:21 PM
My pick for Dallas at Ottawa shared in yesterday's betting report is Ottawa moneyline, because Dallas looked flawed against Nashville and Seattle, barely winning both games. I liked getting +100, but that moved to -120, so my sister tailed my best model Stars +1.5. 🤔 #NHLBets
November 11, 2025 at 11:11 PM
My pick for Washington at Carolina game (shared yesterday on my blog, link in bio) is Canes moneyline. My betting models like Washington (because they love road dogs), but only won 1 of their last 7 and just lost PLD long-term. Canes are 5-1 at home and won 4-straight. #NHLBets
November 11, 2025 at 11:00 PM
My best NHL team to bet this week was the Anaheim Ducks, fellow passengers on their betting bandwagon reaping the rewards 💰. I'm becoming a believer this team is the real deal, but hoping this Koolaid I drank isn't spiked... 📈 #NHLBets

The #NHLbetting landscape is changing before our eyes, an emerging parity pandemic that has underdogs surging. If you bet $100 on every favorite -1.5 goals last week, you lost $2,800. Dogs are bringing sexy back!

My pick for Seattle @ Dallas shared yesterday in Substack chat is Stars -1.5 goals, but my sister is playing this a little safer and splitting her bet on moneyline & puckline, also taking over 6.5 goals at +115. My models liked Seattle, but Joey Daccord placed on IR. 😬 #NHLbets
