Where do the trends come from?

From the lists of six hockey modules at their default settings: 60 minutes, the 1st period, overtime and form from 20 games. A pick that passes its module's threshold becomes a headline.

Why do some days have few trends?

Because a trend needs a clear pick. On days without bookmakers' lines, mostly picks from Goals O/U, the 1st period and Schedule & fatigue remain, and during an international break there are fewer games.

Is a trend a sure pick?

No. The percentage is a frequency from the past, not a promise of the result: it is a statistic, not a certainty.

Trends of the Day

Hockey

The strongest picks of every hockey module in one place.

What the Trends of the Day module shows

The strongest picks of six hockey modules in one place: Goals O/U, Handicaps, Team goals, Periods, Overtime, and Schedule & fatigue. Each headline is a pick from the top six of the module's list at its default settings.

At the top are the day's three strongest picks, from different games and at most two from one module. Below them are the form streaks of the day's teams: five or more wins or losses in a row this season.

When a pick makes the trends

Only clear picks: a big edge in form or a price with value, by each module's thresholds. In Goals O/U, for example, at least 60% of both teams' games must be on the pick's side of the line, with the projection on the same side. Form older than 60 days gives no headline.

Periods and overtime are on the headline list but not among the three strongest: those picks win in fewer than half of games. The best pick of each is shown on its own, under "Long shots of the day".

How to use the trends

A trend is a starting point, not a ready decision. Click a headline to see the full analysis in its module: the projection, the line, the game history and the odds.

A form streak says how a team has played lately, not how it will play. A win after overtime or a shootout counts towards the streak too, and a break of more than 30 days ends it.
