NHL Betting Trends – Top 5 NHL Teams to Bet After a Loss: The NHL is filled with teams that dominate others and teams that struggle to put wins together. Some teams put up big losing streaks when they stumble while others tend to bounce back better than most. Just because a team finishes a season with the fewest losses does not necessarily mean they are the best when coming off of a loss. These are the top 5 teams in the NHL to bet on when coming off of a loss going back to the beginning of the 2019/2020 season.
– Updated March 29th, 2021
| Coming Off A Loss Since September 2019 | Record | Win % |
|---|---|---|
| Tampa Bay Lightning | 20-13 | 60% |
| Washington Capitals | 22-14 | 61% |
| Pittsburgh Penguins | 22-16 | 57% |
| Vegas Golden Knights | 20-17 | 54% |
| Philadelphia Flyers | 22-20 | 52.3% |
The Vegas Golden Knights finished last year’s season with a record of 39-24-8 and have started the 2021 season with a record of 5-1-1. Of those 34 losses, 12 of them came in the form of 3+ game losing streaks while 12 came in the form of 2 game losing streaks. When coming off of a loss, the Golden Knights have gone 18-15 since the beginning of last season. They win their very next game after a loss 55% of the time which lands them as the 4th best team to bet off of a loss.
The Philadelphia Flyers finished last season with a record of 42-22-7 and have started this year’s season with a record of 7-2-2. Of those 32 losses, 15 of them came in the form of 3+ game losing streaks while 4 of them came in the form of 2 game losing streaks. When coming off of a loss, the Flyers are 19-14 since the beginning of last season. They win their very next game after a loss 58% of the time which lands them as the 4th best team to bet on off a loss. Last season they put together three 4 game losing streaks but other than that they rarely strung together multiple losses. They are already off to a 2-1 start when coming off a loss in the 2021 season.
The Pittsburgh Penguins finished last season with a record of 40-24-6 and have started this year’s season with a 5-4-1 record. Of those 34 losses, 9 of them came in the form of 3+ game losing streaks while 14 of them came in the form of 2 game losing streaks. When coming off a loss, the Penguins are 19-15 since the beginning of last season. They win their very next game after a loss 58% of the time which makes them the 3rd best team in the NHL to bet coming off a loss. They only put up 2 large losing streaks last season, one 3 game and one 6 game. They did lose twice in a row 5 times last year and twice already this season but, they also had a run where they won 9 in a row when coming off a loss. They rarely string together losing streaks of more than 2 so this is a reliable team to bet on off a loss, even if it’s off their 2nd loss in a row
The Tampa Bay Lightning finished last year’s season with a record of 43-21-6 and have started this year’s season with a record of 6-1-1. Of those 29 losses, 7 of them came in the form of 3+ game losing streaks while 12 of them have come in the form of 2 game losing streaks. When coming off of a loss, the Lightning have gone 17-11 since the beginning of last season. They win their very next game after a loss 61% of the time which makes them the 2nd best team to bet off a loss in the NHL. Last season, the Lightning only put up 2 large losing streaks, one 3 game and one 4 game. They are the defending Stanley Cup Champions and they win games at a very high rate making them a great team to bet to bounce back off a loss.
The Washington Capitals finished last season with a record of 41-22-8 and have started this season with a record of 6-1-3. Of those 32 losses, 6 of them came in the form of 3+ game losing streaks while 12 of them came in the form of 2 game losing streaks. When coming off of a loss, the Capitals are 19-14 since the beginning of last season. They win their very next game after a loss 61% of the time making them the best team in the NHL to bet when coming off of a loss. They only put together two losing streaks of 3 games last year winning most games after losing once or twice in a row. They are already 2-1 to start this season when coming off a loss and they should continue to be going forward as they tend to bounce back very well.
