CHOICE OF NHL MODELS
Every day we will look at every game, sports betting odds (via Betway) and every team’s winning odds based on the model created by Philippe Boulsink. Based on these two numbers, we can quickly identify which teams to bet on, which teams to avoid and which lines to watch throughout the day.
You can quickly determine which teams are the best bets by following this simple table:

I will also provide best bet analysis and update this post throughout the day to report important news regarding injuries, roster changes and the departure of reserve goalkeepers.
The number to watch is the « Diff ». which is the percentage difference between the projected Win% of the model and the projected Win% based on Betway odds. To find out how odds convert to percentages, use our odds calculator.

PARIS GUIDE PRESENTED BY BETWAY

Season so far
- File: 125-124
- Units: +24.18
- ROI: +9.71%
Bets recommended 💰
Columbus Blue Jackets ML +212
I can’t say I’m too excited to bet on the Blue Jackets with Michael Hutchinson in net against Ilya Sorokin, who has a Vezina Trophy record. That said, Sorokin is yet to be confirmed and +212 for the home team looks much better if Semyon Varlamov starts. They opened with +165 underdogs, so that line moved a ton throughout the day and the model thinks it went too far.
- Bet 0.5 units: CBJ +212 (if Sorokin starts)
- 1.0 Unit Bet: CBJ +212 (if Varlamov starts)
Buffalo Sabers ML +169
The model doesn’t appear to be a huge Devils fan, so the value here is probably lower than it indicates, but it’s still enough to consider the Sabers as home underdogs. Buffalo have been terrible lately, losing four in a row while being outscored 24-9, making it a good time to bet on them. The market is down on them right now, so you’re getting a lot of value here. They need a better performance from Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, who is 2-6-2 with an .870 SV% since early February.
