Free NHL Betting Tips
The number of ice hockey games that take place each year is mind-boggling, and knowing what statistics to keep up with can be a real headache.
While there is a real wealth of statistics available for ice hockey available online, especially on the NHL’s official website, the ones you really want to pay attention to are a team’s current form, player’s current form, and a team’s penalty success rate. The latter of these is because the game often goes to penalties and most of the bookmakers will consider that a part of a match bet.
