How to Use Our Betting Tools

Our Goals, Points, and Shots Analysis Tools are designed to give you a competitive edge in NHL betting by leveraging advanced analytics and player performance trends. Updated daily at 12:30 PM Eastern Time, these tools provide fresh insights to help you make informed wagers. Below, we'll walk you through how to use the Goals, Points, and Shots Analysis Tools to identify high-value betting opportunities and maximize your success.

Shots Analysis Tool

The Shots Analysis Tool, available here, helps you identify players likely to hit their shot-on-goal prop bets. This tool highlights players with high shots-per-game averages and those on shot droughts, offering a data-driven approach to shot prop betting. Here's how to use it effectively:

• Target Shot Droughts: Look for players who have gone 2 or more games without recording at least 2 shots on goal. The longer the drought and the higher their average shots per game, the more likely they are to exceed their shot prop in the next game. The tool lists players with these metrics, making it easy to spot high-value bets.
• Betting Strategies:
  • Single Bets: Pick 1 or 2 players with long shot droughts and high shots-per-game averages for single bets (e.g Charlie McAvoy is averaging 2.15 shots per game but has went two games without hitting 2 shots). This is a low-risk option for players with favorable odds.
  • Parlays and Round Robins: For better odds, select 2 or 3 players with promising drought stats and combine them into a 2-leg parlay or 3-leg round-robin bet. This approach can yield higher payouts, especially for players with odds close to or above even money.
• Pro Tip: Cross-reference with the Lineups & Goalies resource to check if a player is facing a team that bleeds shots or with other weak defensive metrics, increasing the likelihood of hitting their shot prop.

The Shots Analysis Tool empowers you to find undervalued shot prop bets by focusing on players poised to break their droughts. Whether you prefer single bets or multi-leg parlays, this tool provides the insights you need to make confident decisions.

Goalie Save Thresholds

Our Goalie Save Thresholds tool, refreshed on the NHLGambling.com homepage at 12:30 EST each day, predicts the number of saves each team's goalie is likely to make in their next game. These predictions are a powerful resource for betting on goalie save prop bets, as they often align closely with sportsbook lines but can reveal significant betting opportunities when discrepancies arise. Here's how to use this tool effectively:

• Understand the Predictions: On the homepage, we provide save predictions for each team's starting goalie. These predictions are based on basic hockey analytics, including team shot volumes, opponent offensive trends, and goalie performance data. Typically, our predictions are close to sportsbook lines (e.g., sportsbook sets 24.5 or 25.5 saves and we predict 24 or 25 saves, you will see this a lot), but differences can indicate high-value bets.
• Spot High-Value Bets: Look for significant discrepancies between our predictions and sportsbook lines. For example:
  • If we predict a goalie will make 19 saves and the sportsbook line is 22.5, this suggests an under bet may be valuable, as the goalie is likely to fall below the line.
  • If we predict 29 saves and the sportsbook line is 25.5, this indicates an over bet is strong, as the goalie is likely to exceed the line.
• Betting Edge: A discrepancy of 3.5 saves or more is a very strong betting opportunity, as it suggests a significant mispricing by the sportsbook. For the 2025-26 season these bets have hit over 80% of the time. A 2.5 save discrepancy is also solid and can provide a good edge for your bets.
• Pro Tip: Combine our save predictions with matchup analysis. Check the opponent's shot volume tendencies and recent performance to confirm the likelihood of a high or low save total, enhancing your confidence in the bet.

By leveraging discrepancies between our Goalie Save Thresholds predictions and sportsbook lines, you can identify high-value prop bets that give you a competitive edge in NHL betting.

Goals and Points Analysis Tools

The Goals and Points Analysis Tools are your go-to resources for finding players likely to score goals or record points in upcoming NHL games. These tools, accessible at Goals Analysis Tool and Points Analysis Tool, update daily to reflect the latest player and team data. Whether you're betting on individual player props or building parlays, here's how to make the most of these tools:

• Identify High-Percentage Players: The tools display each player's percentage likelihood of scoring a goal or recording a point, based on their historical performance. A higher percentage (e.g., 50% or above) indicates a stronger chance of success. You can browse by team or filter to "view only teams with games today" to spot consistent performers with high "% of Games with a Goal" or "% of Games with a Point" values.
• Focus on Droughts for Value: The real edge comes from targeting players on goal or point droughts. A player who hasn't scored in several games but has a high likelihood percentage is often a prime betting opportunity, as they're due to break out. Look for players listed with a likelihood of 50% or higher, as these are statistically more likely to end their drought.
• Betting Strategies:
  • Points Parlays: For the Points Analysis Tool, identify 2 or 3 players with a likelihood of 50% or higher. Combine them into a 2-player parlay for a balanced mix of value and probability. This approach leverages the higher consistency of point production (goals or assists) to boost your payout potential.
  • Goal Scorers: For the Goals Analysis Tool, select players with high likelihood percentages for single bets or round-robin bets. Single bets are safer for goal scorers due to the lower probability of scoring compared to points, but round-robin bets can offer value if you're confident in multiple players.
• Pro Tip: Combine insights from the Goals and Points Tools with shots or saves to focus on players in favorable matchups. Check opponent defensive stats or goaltending trends to refine your picks.

By focusing on drought-based opportunities and high-likelihood players, you can strategically place bets that balance risk and reward, making the Goals and Points Analysis Tools essential for any serious NHL bettor.
