NHL research has been live since September 25. Open it from Research and choose NHL. Each sheet answers one question about tonight's slate.

NHL hit rates cover skater and goalie props by recent games, like the other sports.

Where to start

  • A prop you already like: check it in Top props for its score, then the sheet for that stat: Shots on goal for shots, Goalie saves for saves, Hits and blocks for hits and blocks.
  • A same-game parlay: Point correlation shows which teammates score together, with ready-made two-leg parlays.
  • A goalscorer bet: start in Goalscorers. Check the projected goalie before anything else.
  • One game: open Game center for both teams, then follow a player into the sheet for that stat.
  • Lineup news: check Injury impact and Deployment radar. A promotion to the top line or first power play changes a player's ice time more than recent form shows.

Many sheets show a full-game and a 1st-period view. Check which one you are on before comparing a line.

Read the numbers carefully

  • A score is a research summary, not a win probability.
  • Goalies are often projected, not confirmed. A late goalie change can move saves and goalscorer prices.
  • Early in the season, samples are small. Lean on ice time and role more than on a few games of results.
  • Compare the exact line and period at your book before you bet.

What a free account sees

NHL research needs Scout, like research for every other sport. Free accounts get a preview of each sheet: the top 5 props in full on Top props, the first 5 rows on most boards, 5 teams on Injury impact, and each game's lines and team profiles on Game center. See plans for full access.

Troubleshooting

  • A sheet is empty: check the date. There may be no games, or props may not be posted yet.
  • A player's goalie or line looks wrong: projections update through the day. Check again closer to puck drop.
  • A prop has no price: no book is posting that line right now.

When asking for help, include the sheet, date, player or game, the exact market and your filters. Use app-help in Discord.
