📉 NHL Market Watch — Tuesday, February 3, 2026

Raymond Report | ATS STATS
Teams are assets. The SBI is the market. Welcome to cold-weather investing.

If the NBA market feels like Nasdaq, the NHL market is bonds and commodities — slower, sharper, and far less forgiving.

The NHL Sports Betting Index (SBI) is sending a very different message than the NBA tonight:

SU: Bullish → Neutral
Totals: Neutral
ATS: BEARISH (Dogs > Favorites)

Translation?
👉 The house is punishing favorites ATS.
👉 Price sensitivity matters more than team strength.
👉 Capital preservation > aggression.

Let’s break down tonight’s Top NHL betting assets through the Raymond Report investing lens.

🟢 BULLISH ASSETS (Aligned with NHL Market Conditions)

These teams are behaving like defensive, cash-flow assets — steady, priced correctly, and moving with the SBI.

⚡ Tampa Bay Lightning (A)

• Market Role: Blue-Chip Defensive Stock
• Cycle: BULLISH
• SU: 35–18
• Home: 16–9
• Signal: Strong vs A & B assets
• Investor Read: Tampa fits a market where favorites still win SU, but you don’t overpay ATS. Controlled exposure only.

🌪️ Carolina Hurricanes (A)

• Market Role: High-Efficiency Growth Asset
• Cycle: BULLISH
• Home: 20–10
• COW: 67.39%
• Investor Read: Carolina is priced like a premium asset — and mostly earning it. Still, ATS bearish SBI = don’t chase steam.

🦆 Anaheim Ducks (B)

• Market Role: Mid-Cap Value Play
• Cycle: BULLISH
• Home: 16–9
• COW: 67.39%
• Investor Read: Anaheim quietly outperforming expectations. Market hasn’t fully caught up.

🟡 NEUTRAL ASSETS (Market-Dependent Holdings)

These teams move with the index. You don’t force trades — you wait for price.

🏒 New York Islanders (B)

• Market Role: Yield Asset
• COW: 69.23%
• Issue: Inconsistent momentum
• Investor Read: Strong vs A teams historically, but neutral cycle means timing matters.

🔴 New Jersey Devils (B)

• Market Role: Market-Tracking ETF
• STK: 2 Unders
• Investor Read: Devils reflect the broader NHL totals market — neutral, controlled, low volatility.

🛢️ Edmonton Oilers (B)

• Market Role: Volatile Energy Stock
• STK: 5 Overs
• Risk: Totals market neutral → overs are not free money
• Investor Read: Explosive upside, but this market rewards restraint.

🔴 BEARISH ASSETS (Out of Sync with the SBI)

These teams are mispriced relative to the current ATS environment, where dogs are dominating.

🍁 Toronto Maple Leafs (C)

• Cycle: BEARISH
• Away: 10–15
• COW: 32.61%
• Investor Read: Name value is propping up price. Market efficiency says fade or avoid.

🦅 Philadelphia Flyers (C)

• Cycle: BEARISH
• STK: 4 SU losses
• Investor Read: Downtrend asset in a market that punishes favorites ATS.

🏛️ Washington Capitals (C)

• Market Role: Aging Asset
• COW: 36.36%
• Investor Read: Occasional pop, but long-term trend remains weak.

🧠 DOG MARKET ALERT 🚨 (IMPORTANT)

The NHL ATS SBI is screaming one thing:

Dogs are outperforming favorites at a 66%+ clip YTD.

That makes teams like:

• Ottawa Senators
• Buffalo Sabres
• Seattle Kraken

…far more investable at the right price, even if they’re not “better teams.”

This is a pricing market, not a talent contest.

📊 NHL SBI MARKET SUMMARY

🧊 FINAL INVESTOR TAKE

The NHL isn’t Vegas glamour — it’s risk management.

• ✔️ Protect capital
• ✔️ Respect dog value
• ❌ Don’t overpay for brand-name favorites
• ⚠️ Let the price, not the logo, make the decision

If you’re betting NHL like NBA, you’re already behind.

📌 This is why ATS STATS doesn’t sell picks — it sells market awareness.

Cold ice. Sharp edges.
That’s how NHL profits are made. 🏒💰
