The New York Islanders are the best NHL betting pick in overtime or shootouts, while the Kings might as well go home after 60 minutes.
The Isles are 12-2 in games decided in OT or shootouts, including a perfect 6-0 at home.
LA is the opposite, going 2-12 in OT or shootouts and 0-6 on the road.
The Jets lead the league in most games decided in OT or shootouts, with one third of their first 62 games (21) tied after regulation time. Winnipeg is 10-11 in those 21 games.
Other teams that often require overtime to decide their games are the Ducks (13-7), Panthers (7-13), Avalanche (9-11), Red Wings (8-11) and Flyers (8-11).
This type of NHL betting information, which can be found on the NHL’s website, can come in handy for NHL live betting.
It’s also helpful for when you make your NHL betting picks.
If you bet on the Kings, you might as well take Los Angeles to win in regulation time at higher odds because they’ve shown a tendency to lose in OT or shootouts.
And if you take the Islanders, it’s worth including overtime in your NHL betting picks because the Isles are so good in the extra session.
