Ice hockey predictions on this page are calculated from bookmaker odds for regulation time outcomes. Unlike football, ice hockey commonly prices a three-way market covering home win, draw in regulation and away win, because games that finish level go to overtime rather than being counted as draws. The probability bar on each card reflects those three outcomes where available, or a two-way split for moneyline-only markets.
NHL predictions tonight are published for every scheduled game across the regular season and Stanley Cup playoffs. European coverage includes KHL predictions, SHL tips and Liiga analysis. The Champions Hockey League is added during its knockout stages. No ice hockey prediction here guarantees the result of any game.
UK bookmakers price NHL and European hockey on a 1X2 basis for regulation time. A draw in regulation means the game proceeds to overtime and then a shootout if needed. The 1X2 market only covers 60 minutes of play, so the draw probability reflects how often games are level after regulation rather than truly finishing as a draw. Where only moneyline (no draw) odds are available, the bar splits two ways.
Coverage includes the NHL, American Hockey League (AHL), KHL, SHL (Swedish Hockey League), Liiga (Finnish), DEL (German), Czech Extraliga, Swiss National League, Champions Hockey League and IIHF World Championship. World Juniors fixtures are added during the January tournament window.
Most NHL games start between midnight and 4am UK time because the league plays across North American time zones. Predictions and odds are visible before puck drop regardless of time. Early games starting at around midnight UK can be found under today's tab; late games crossing midnight will appear under the following day.

NHL predictions are built from the regulation-time odds available at UK bookmakers. The overround is removed to produce an implied probability for each team winning in 60 minutes. The Best Pick label marks whichever outcome holds the highest implied chance.
Yes. Playoff series predictions and individual game previews are published throughout the Stanley Cup playoffs from the first round through to the Final. Win probabilities are updated as each series develops and odds reflect elimination-round context.
Ice hockey has a high degree of randomness relative to its sample size. Games are lower-scoring than basketball and goals can come from contested situations, so the underdog wins more often than in many other sports. The market reflects this with tighter odds than you might see in football for equivalent mismatches.
