Betting Insights
Please play responsibly.
0:00: The Washington Capitals are at -110 (even) to make the playoffs. Based on their performance through the first month, are they worth betting on?
3:35: The Ottawa Senators are also at close odds when it comes to making (-105) or missing (-115) the playoffs. What side would you rather bet on?
6:28: Winnipeg Jets coach Scott Arniel is currently the favorite to win the Jack Adams Award at +500. Are there any other coaches that have better value to bet on right now?
8:34: Buffalo and Utah have the same odds to record 90-plus points this season (-110). Which team would you rather bet on?
11:55: Auston Matthews is still the heavy favorite to win the Rocket Richard at +125. With so many other players having stronger starts, is anyone else worth betting on?
21:34: Igor Shesterkin (+380) is the slight favorite to win the Vezina over Hellebuyck (+400), but Oettinger (+500) has had a better statistical start than both of them. Is Oettinger a smart bet right now?
23:47: BetMGM has a bet for the Stanley Cup-winning conference. The East is at -110, and the West is at -115. Based on the opening 10 games, which conference has looked stronger?
