It’s time for another week in the National Hockey League season, and you know what that means – another look at the schedule ahead! Paired with Canada Sports Betting’s written and video coverage of the NHL, and some of our handy features like the strength of schedule tool and the NHL projected standings, you’ll be able to take on this week’s action with ease. Below is every NHL game on the weekly docket, its broadcast time, and a look at what rest-based advantages that teams have. Let’s dive in!
Rest Notes: Everyone is playing even here, at least from a rest perspective. Each team’s last game was on Saturday, with a day off in between. If one team has a disadvantage based on workload it would be the Dallas Stars, who are playing their fourth game in six nights.
Rest Notes: Quite a few mismatches here. Toronto, Arizona, Detroit, and Calgary are all playing their second game in as many nights, with the Coyotes having the biggest disadvantage of the field. Pittsburgh has three rest days on them – maybe that’s enough to lead to a power-play goal, finally? The Blackhawks are playing their third game in four nights, as are Vegas, Seattle, Nashville, and the Rangers.
Watch and listen to The Puck Portfolio
The weekly schedule and accompanying rest info are best paired with the insights provided by Andy MacNeil on Canada Sports Betting’s NHL show, The Puck Portfolio, presented by NorthStar Bets! Released every weekday afternoon, Andy provides insights on NHL action ahead of the competition, using CSB’s predictive model to find the best value on the betting market.
Rest Notes: The hunters become the hunted as Pittsburgh now has one of the bigger disadvantages, being on a second half of a back-to-back. Winnipeg is also without a day off as it faces the rested Kings, who have been great even without the help this year. Boston has a slight advantage over New Jersey, as does Anaheim over the Islanders.
Rest Notes: A couple of mismatches here, and both Toronto and Calgary’s are made worse by playing their third game in four nights. Detroit is also on a three-in-four but has the same one-day gap as Carolina. Chicago and Seattle face each other having both played four in their last six.
Rest Notes: The Stars have the biggest advantage here, with three days of rest and the Sens on the second half of the back-to-back. The Predators and Golden Knights have similar advantages over the Hurricanes and Sabres, respectively, but the gap is only two games. The Rangers have a slight edge over Anaheim as well.
Rest Notes: With a lot of games come a lot of quirks, and we have four rest mismatches and a whopping seven teams on the second half of back-to-backs. Detroit, Toronto, and Calgary are all playing their fourth game in six nights.
Rest Notes: Every game here has a quirk of some sort. Four of the 10 teams are playing the second half of a back-to-back, Chicago has a two-day advantage over Vancouver, and even in the lone game where the rest days are equal, the Senators are playing their third game in four nights.
