2023 Must Bet Games for NHL Week 1 | MyBookie Hockey Regular Season Preview

2023–24 NHL season | 107th season of the National Hockey League
Week 1: October 9th – October 15th, 2023

Seattle Kraken at Vegas Golden Knights

NHL Odds: Vegas -1.5 / Seattle +141; Vegas-173 / O/UI 6
Tuesday, October 10th, 2023 at 10:30 pm | ESPN, ESPN+
T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, NV

It is the season’s first game for the Vegas Golden Knights, and they get the team they beat in the Western Conference finals. Two of the newest teams in the National Hockey League. Also, two of the most talented teams in the league as well.

This should be a fun game and will give a chance for the home team to raise the banner from the Stanley Cup-winning team of last season. Vegas and Seattle both made moves in the off-season, and now we will get a chance to see if they pay off in the opener.

This is a must-bet game from the Western Conference and National Hockey League. It is hard to go against the home team on banner-raising night.

Chicago Blackhawks at Boston Bruins

NHL Odds: Boston -1.5 / Chicago +238; Boston -309 / O/U 6
Wednesday, October 11th, 2023 at 7:30 pm | TNT
TD Garden, Boston, MA

Connor Bedard and his Chicago Blackhawks go on the road. Bedard will get plenty of attention this season, but his team is still slated to be pretty poor again.

For Boston, while they were really good in the regular season, they need to figure out how to get into the postseason and still be ready to play high-leverage postseason hockey.

The Bruins lost some talent, but look for them to be still one of the teams to watch in the Eastern Conference. While this is a game to bet on; this should be all Bruins on Wednesday.

St. Louis Blues at Dallas Stars

NHL Odds: Dallas -1.5 / St. Louis +166; Dallas -206 / O/U 6.5
Thursday, October 12th, 2023 at 8:00 pm | NHLPP,ESPN+
American Airlines Center, Dallas, TX

Craig Berube is one of the coaches at the top of the list to be fired during the 2023-2024 season.

That cannot sit well with the Chief, the leader in charge when the Blues won the cup back in 2019. The Blues have had a big-time change of guard and tons of turnover to their team since then.

Now they go to the Big D, where the Stars have a nice combination of veteran plays and young talent. You have to bet the Dallas Stars at home on this game.

Pittsburgh Penguins at Washington Capitals

Friday, October 13th, 2023

A pair of Eastern Conference teams that still have talent around but have fallen off a bit from both their glory days of being Cup Contenders. The Penguins and Capitals are fighting tooth and nail for a postseason spot.

Expect some good, strong play from both teams early in the season. This is always a game to bet on, and the best bets here would be on the OVER. These two teams from the nation’s capital will score in this game on Friday night.

Carolina Hurricanes at Los Angeles Kings

Saturday, October 14th, 2023

One of the favorites in the National Hockey League, Carolina, will face a tough road test on Saturday night. The Los Angeles Kings will be a team that teams do not want to face. Good talent on the front end and is rough and physical throughout the lineup.

The Hurricanes are talented, but this is going to be one that should give them a good measuring stick. The Kings will likely come into this game as the home underdog and one to look out for!
