NHL Three-Way Moneyline Betting Report

Don’t like the moneyline value of the NHL teams you’re betting? Well, you might want to try placing your NHL wagers on teams to win in regulation rather than on the boring old moneyline. The value of a bet goes up significantly when you bet them to win in regulation because it will lose or cash as soon as a game goes to overtime, assuming you don’t pick the draw option.

I’ve taken the time to break down which teams are the best bets to win in regulation to help you out at the betting window during the last week of the NHL regular season.

Team to Target



Washington Capitals: The Caps are the best team in the league so this should be no surprise but with 44 regulation wins, Washington has rarely needed overtime to settle its games. Their final two games of the regular season will come against the Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers and I think they win both of these games.

It’s been proven over and over again that teams that go into the playoffs hot have a much better chance at going deep. The Capitals have won nine of their last 10 games, including three in a row, and would love to run that streak to five as they get ready for a Stanley Cup run.

Team to Fade



Detroit Red Wings: Missing the playoffs for the first time in 26 seasons, the Red Wings have been godawful this year. They’ve gone to overtime more than any other team in the league and that makes them a good fade on the three-way moneyline.

Their two remaining games will come against the Canadiens and Devils, two teams that also like to settle games in OT, so you’d be wise to consider a tie on the three-way moneyline in those matchups.
