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

2023–24 NHL season | 107th season of the National Hockey League
NHL Season: October 10, 2023 – June 2024

Seattle Kraken at Vegas Golden Knights (-175)

NHL Odds: Seattle +1.5; Vegas -1.5 / Seattle +133; Vegas -186 / O/U 6.5
Tuesday October 10th, 2023 at 10:30 pm | ESPN, ESPN+
T-Mobile Arena, Paradise, Nevada

A rematch of the Western Conference Finals a season ago. The Kraken will open their second season in the National Hockey League.

This should still be a talented hockey team, with much of the roster returning. Eeli Tolvanen came to the team off waivers from Nashville a season ago, scoring 16 goals in 48 games. Seeing him with the Seattle offense over the entire season will be fun. They will be raising the banner on their Stanley Cup title for Vegas.

It was not too long ago when Vegas was the new team in the league. Logan Thompson is back for the Golden Knights and should give Adin Hill healthy competition between the pipes. Vegas is +1175 to win, while Seattle is listed at +3700.

Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche are not too far removed from winning the Stanley Cup. This team is still loaded with talent. While they have lost some skilled players and they continue to age, this is still a great team. Going to the Staples Center is always a fun game, especially to open up the season.

The Kings are a team to watch in 2023, as they will be pesky out of the Western Conference. Los Angeles is +1975 to win the Stanley Cup, while Colorado is +920.

American Airlines Center, Dallas, Texas

A pair of Western Conference teams wrapped up the 2022-2023 season with a pair of games.

Dallas was one of the top teams in the Western Conference a season ago. Dallas is going to be one of the teams to beat again this season, as well. The Stars are 4th in the Western Conference at +1525.

St. Louis has some young talent but is still in a bit of a rebuild. Craig Berube’s squad may have a chance if Jordan Binnington can figure it out between the pipes. The Blues are big underdogs to win the cup at +6000.
