NHL Betting Picks: Saturday Analysis and Thursday “Puck Picks”
Welcome to the home of DobberHockey’s NHL Picks, your expert guide to navigating the busiest nights in the hockey calendar. This category features our primary weekend deep-dive, Saturday’s NHL Picks, alongside our midweek specialized analysis, Puck Picks, published every Thursday. Our goal is to provide data-backed insights to help you identify value in the betting markets and gain an edge in your fantasy matchups.

Weekly Schedule and Strategy
We synchronize our analysis with the NHL’s heaviest game nights to ensure you have the most relevant data when it matters most:

Saturday’s NHL Picks: A comprehensive breakdown of the full Saturday slate, focusing on moneyline value, over/under trends, and high-probability outcomes. Penned by Flip Livingstone.

Thursday’s “Puck Picks”: Our midweek strategic report designed to uncover edges in the Thursday night schedule, often the second-busiest night of the week. Penned by Ryan Brudner.

Advanced Metric Integration: Every pick is supported by Frozen Tools data, including goaltender streaks, team puck possession metrics (Corsi/Fenwick), and special teams’ mismatches.

Situational Analysis: We account for travel schedules, back-to-back starts, and confirmed starting goalies to provide a holistic view of every game.

Expert Guidance for Every Bettor
Whether you are looking for a parlay anchor, a player prop advantage, or simply want to know which favorites are on “upset alert,” our picks combine decades of hockey expertise with modern analytical modeling. By following the “Puck Picks” and Saturday reports, you can make informed decisions based on logic and data rather than gut feeling.

In the weekly piece “Saturday’s NHL Picks,” Flip Livingstone breaks down at least three of Saturday’s NHL games where he will either pick a winner or make an over/under bet on total goals.

In the weekday article “Puck Picks”, Ryan Brudner covers what you need to know about NHL betting.

Saturday’s NHL Game Picks – November 25

In last week’s column, I had an interesting discussion in the comments section with contributor JP. Essentially he was saying that in order to maintain longevity, and my bank roll, I should be picking closer games rather than heavy favourites (-200 and above). He’s not wrong on that front, but I think there might have [...]

Saturday’s Game Picks: Home Cooking – November 18

By Adam Mark|2017-11-18T08:22:01-05:00November 18th, 2017|NHL Picks/Props|

I had a bit of a dip this week, particularly on Thursday with losses to Arizona, Colorado and Las Vegas, but was able to save the week by doubling down on both of Friday’s games and evening out the bank with wins from Columbus and Detroit. It’s not something I’d recommend if you’re just starting [...]

Well… last Saturday didn’t go as planned as I ended the day going 2 - 4, a bit disheartening but bound to happen every now and then. Since then my week has been rather solid, going 6 - 3, and I’m looking to carry that over into the weekend. One game I’d like to [...]

Saturday NHL Picks – November 4

So I’ve finally hit .500 on the season. It took a bit longer than I would have expected, but I’m taking it as a sign that things are going continue moving in the right direction =). As with all things, you have to be ready to pounce on opportunities and after Las Vegas turned to [...]

Saturday’s NHL Picks – October 28

Trusting your gut when you’re losing is often a difficult task. It’s understandable to think that changing things up will offer better results, and easy to to make rash decisions. That’s where experience and data comes in to act as your rock. How many GM’s have you seen thus far cut loose of players like [...]

Saturday’s NHL Picks – October 22

I finally got some positive results last week going 4-2 on Saturday and 3-3 since. It’s by no means where I need to be, but it’s a step in the right direction. I’ve really been liking Tampa Bay and St. Louis and will probably continue to ride the wave for a week or two until [...]

Saturday Night’s NHL Picks – October 14

Well… hopefully your weeks have been better than mine. The start of the season is always a crap shoot as teams are finding their legs, lines are finding their rhythms, and trends have yet to be formed. I had a horrible week of picks, leaving me well below my year over year average of 64%, but [...]

Saturday’s NHL Picks: April 1, 2017

It's almost that time of year, one week left in the NHL Season and man has it been a good one. Last Saturday I was fortunate enough to go 5-1, and since then I've gone 11-4 this week leaving my Season record at 180-100 (64%). I'm pretty pleased that my Dobber record is sitting right [...]
