Having played NHL DFS, you’ll be well-versed in seeking players who look set to score goals, be credited with assists, and have plenty of shots, which opens up opportunities in certain NHL betting markets. By utilizing your knowledge at the right betting websites, you can put your skills to the test in the markets rather than just in DFS.

As is the case with the daily fantasy sports websites, each sports betting website has a different offering. First of all, you’ll need to identify a website that not only boasts the right markets but also offers safe and assured transaction methods to allow you to play. Both 888sport and Betway Sports host the key point scoring and shots markets that NHL DFS fans can relay their skills into, as well as a recognized and trusted transaction method.
Along with having the markets that you want to play, one of the most important factors for a new sports bettor is that the website offers a payment method that is safe and suits your needs. People will often turn to simply using their credit card, but in a world that offers safer electronic payment methods, Instadebit has become a recommended choice. By following the four-step process of setting up an Instadebit account, you will be able to place funds into your betting account immediately.
With an online sportsbook account and a method of depositing money established, you can make a deposit and begin to browse the NHL betting markets.

Since they’re still considered to be somewhat of a niche offering, there aren’t many top online sportsbooks which offer ‘Player’ markets, but the ones that do can be utilized by those in the know. In the NHL or hockey section, click on any of the games being played on the day, and then scroll down until you find the ‘Goal Scorer,’ ‘Player Goals,’ ‘Player Points,’ and ‘Player Shots’ markets.
Thanks to ice hockey crediting two assists to each goal – where applicable – the ‘Player Points’ markets have become very popular. In this market, you can back one of the top players from either team to score at least one point, at least two points, at least three points, or to not score any points on the night. Players like Nikita Kucherov, Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby, Brad Marchand, and Leon Draisaitl who all scored 100 or more points from up to 82 games in the regular season became go-to choices in the ‘Player Points’ markets.
In ‘Goal Scorer,’ you’ll be able to find the odds for each player on both teams to either score the first goal, the last goal, to score at any time, or not to score a goal. The ‘Player Goals’ markets are for those who think that a player either will or won’t score at least two or three goals in one game. For ‘Player Shots,’ you can select under or over 2.5 shots on goal by the top players on each team.
Best of all, most websites will allow you to accumulate your selections within the same market but across different games, allowing you to stack your predictions and get better odds for doing so.
