Welcome to Canada Sports Betting‘s NHL Strength of Schedule page.
Starting on October 4th and finishing up on April 17th, the 2024-25 NHL regular season will be a grind for hockey bettors. Teams will play a total of 1,312 games, and if a bettor is going to have success, and ultimately win some money, they must stay on top of the schedule. That’s where Strength of Schedule (SOS) comes in.
Our SOS metric is calculated by averaging bet365‘s regular season point totals of each team’s opponents. Use this page hand in hand with our 2024-25 NHL Projections and Stanley Cup Playoff Chances page to inform your futures betting and much more.
This page will be updated weekly once the NHL season starts.

How To Use Strength of Schedule
Have you heard a sports bettor toss around the phrase “buy low, sell high”? Well, knowing each team’s strength of schedule will inform you of when it’s time to do just that, but it can also tell you when to dig in. This can be especially helpful in futures betting and bettors can use SOS to pick out the risers and fallers ahead of time.
