Find out how you can get PayPerHead’s TruLive Wagering FREE for one month after checking out the predictions below.

Toronto will pull away in the Atlantic Division

Everyone thought Toronto might have the best offense in NHL. So far, so good. The Maple Leafs average 5 goals per game. That’s led to a 3-1 record to start the season.

The prediction here is that Leafs pull away in the Atlantic Division.

Make sure to set max betting limits on the Leafs when they show up as low-priced favorites or underdogs.

Carolina should continue to surprise

More than a few NHL analysts thought the Carolina Hurricanes might surprise in the deep Metropolitan Division. After one week, Carolina looks like the best squad.

The Canes beat Vancouver 5-3 to bring their early season record to 3-0-1.

Carolina could beat Pittsburgh and Washington for the Metropolitan Division. Odds makers won’t know how to set Carolina moneylines.

So, use your Line Mover, offered through PayPerHead’s Prime Package, to adjust lines while also setting max betting limits on the Hurricanes.  

Pittsburgh will get hot in the second half of the season

Carolina could win the Metropolitan, but the guess here is that Pittsburgh gets hot in the second half of the season. Until then, the Pens figure to be overplayed in most games where they’re favorites.

Set max betting limits on most Penguin games. Allow some dollars to flow on other Penguin games.

Use your best judgement.

Washington will struggle to make the playoffs

Online bookie agents might want to lift max betting limits on Washington to repeat.

The Caps could struggle to make the playoffs in the deep Eastern Conference. The Caps beat Vegas on Oct. 10. Keep reading to see why that doesn’t matter so much to us.  

Winnipeg will comfortably win the Central Division

The Chicago Blackhawks lead the Central Division, but it’s early. Winnipeg’s the class of the Central as well as being the class of the Western Conference.

They’ll overtake Chicago, win the division, and win the West.

Set max betting limits on Jets at anything less than -200. Even at -200, some NHL bettors could pound Winnipeg. Pay attention to the action on the Jets and adjust accordingly.

Vegas will struggle to make the playoffs

Sounds crazy, but online bookies might not have to worry about Vegas winning the Stanley Cup. Vegas won’t sneak up on any of their Western Conference opponents.

Like Washington, lifting max betting limits on the Golden Knights to lift the Cup makes sense.

There’s ton of matchups each week during the NHL Regular Season, find out every game easily on your agent dashboard with the TV Listings tool. Then, promote the televised games with TruLive wagering.

You’ll double your profits—easily.
