The Greg Peterson ExperienceNHL2023-02-19Consider goalies and backup goalies when handicapping regular-season NHL games.

Sharp MoneyNHL2023-03-02Betting puck lines can be dangerous. Sure you get a better price, but you forfeit opportunities to win in overtime or shootouts
Sharp MoneyNHL2023-03-03Puck Lines can be good in-game bets. In some 1-goal games, look for the live Puck Line starting at around 10 minutes left up until the 5-minute mark. The hope is for an empty net goal to cover -1.5

Sharp MoneyNHL2023-04-20Aaron Halterman: Just because a team loses a game, it doesn't mean they didn't out-play their opponent. That's why he was on the Panthers as an underdog last night.

Saturday Bet PrepNHL2023-05-26When betting an NHL playoff elimination game, tread carefully on betting unders. If a team facing elimination is down two or three goals, they tend to pull the goalie earlier than they normally would.
Sharp MoneyNHL2023-05-31Teams with more time off in Game 1 of the Finals are on a 1-9 run. That applies to Florida this season.
The HandleNHL2023-06-03The Florida Panthers are coming off a 10-day break entering Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final. If you think the team will be rusty to start, consider betting the first period OVER or VGK 1P ML.
VSiN PrimeTimeNHL2023-06-05In the playoffs, do not be afraid to ride a trend, for example a team that scores in the first 10 minutes in every game, do not over think it, just ride the wave!

The HandleNHL2023-06-13Don’t forget that the Conn Smythe award is based on a players’ performance throughout the entire playoffs, not just the final round. You may be enticed to bet Adin Hill tonight, but he missed the entire first round so has to put up a huge performance to make up ground.
The Lombardi LineNHL2023-06-27Look at all of the markets available for the NHL Draft, sometimes you can get a better number in one market, or you can get a much safer bet with only slightly less juice.
The Lombardi LineNHL2023-06-28With the top 3 picks essentially locked in for tonight’s NHL Draft, use alternate markets to attack the Matvei Michkov markets, you can turn a minus-odds bet into a plus-odds one.
A Numbers GameNHL2023-10-10Just like the NBA, no need to rush to fill your future portfolio in the NHL. The odds will slowly shift throughout the start of the season, and you can make a bet after you get a chance to see a team/player on the ice for a bit.
A Numbers GameNHL2024-02-26Consider a bet on the Wizards to have fewest wins in the NBA at +250. Currently, they only have one more than the Pistons and have lost 11 straight.
