Daily NHL betting guide: February 17
Daily Faceoff will help you become an improved bettor during the 2021-22 NHL season. Each day we will look at each game, the odds of each team winning and the betting tools.
Daily NHL betting guide: February 17. All bets are 1 unit wagers. I will update this post throughout the day to point out big injury news, lineup changes, and backup goalies starting.
Winnipeg Jets are playing against the Seattle Kraken. Connor Hellebuyck is expected to start again. The model sees Winnipeg as bigger favourites (-194) than the current -132 favourites.
Ottawa Senators are the underdogs against Buffalo Sabres. They are without Thomas Chabot, Josh Norris and Drake Batherson. The Senators have been outscored 3.5-to-2 on the road this season.
The model is mostly seeing who the Oilers were under Dave Tippett. Since Jay Woodcroft was brought in, they've been better in a very small sample size. Anaheim Ducks are playing a back-to-back.
Columbus Blue Jackets have been playing great hockey lately. They have five wins in their last seven games. Chicago has just three wins out of ten games and Arvid Soderblom is expected to start in goal for them tonight. Columbus Moneyline is picking them on the moneyline at +120.
The Rangers are going up against a Red Wings team that allowed seven goals to the Minnesota Wild earlier this week. Mika Zibenejad has been getting assists lately. He's hit this mark in three of his last five and six of last 10 games.
