What Types of NHL Picks Can I Find on StatSalt?

When it comes to elite hockey games, StatSalt focuses on two primary betting markets. These are our side picks, and totals.Sides are simply who we believe will cover the spread in any given matchup. For example, if we are backing the Tampa Bay Lightning to cover at -1.5 against Nashville, we believe that the Florida team has enough firepower to beat its rival by more than 1.5 goals when the full- time buzzer sounds. Conversely, if we like Nashville at +1.5, we are backing the Predators to finish closer than 1.5 goals behind the Lightning by the end. Total bets are somewhat different as they hang on the performance of both teams. Before the game oddsmaker will set a price on the number of goals which will be scored, and bettors must decide whether the real total will be more or less than that figure. Again, to take the example of Lightning vs Predators, if the over/under is set at 6.5, an over bet will cash in if there are more than seven goals scored by the two teams, and an under bet if six or fewer go in.
