NHL regular-season betting began with the NHL Global Series on Oct. 7 and won't end until April 15, 2023, when the final 15 of 1,312 games are played.
Here's a look at some early NHL betting trends through the first month of the season:
Back-to-Backs for Both Teams
From 2005-21, there was no money in blindly betting the puck line for the road or home team when both teams were playing the second half of a back-to-back. The home team had a marginally better ROI, though there was a negative ROI regardless if you bet the road or home team in all circumstances.'
That dramatically shifted early last season and hasn't slowed down since.
