Don't bet every game

One strategy is to look for the sharpest bet each night and only wager on this game. This will force you to really consider which bet gives you the highest expected return and will limit you from getting carried away betting on every NHL game.

Bet The Underdog

In this new salary cap era the parity in the NHL is at an all-time high. Anyone can win on any given night and a team that finished last in the standings the previous year could conceivably challenge for the Stanley Cup the following year. This is one reason that you will find more sharp underdog bets throughout the season than sharp favourite bets.

If you wager on the underdog every game throughout the season you will lose much less than if you wagered on the favourite in every game.
