NHL Betting Trends for October 3, 2026

27 standout hit-rate trends across the NHL slate — for example, Nathan MacKinnon (COL) has recorded 3+ shots on goal in 18 of the last 20 home games.

How to read these trends

Every trend below comes straight from game-log data through October 3, 2026. We only surface trends that clear a meaningful bar at a high hit rate — a player or team hitting the number in at least 8 of their last 10 games, or 17 of their last 20 — split by wins, losses, home and road.

A high hit rate is a starting point, not a lock. Lines move, matchups differ, and a hot streak can cool off. Treat these as a research shortlist: confirm the number against the current line and the matchup before you bet.
