The 2023 NHL All-Star Game will take place on Saturday, Feb. 4 starting at 3 p.m. ET at FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Fla.
The first thing you need to realize when betting the NHL All-Star Game is that there is very little rhyme or reason to how this competition shakes out. These are exhibitions and players are there to have fun more than anything else, so you just need to go into the competition with the same attitude. These should be small bets intended to add to the experience, rather than big wagers you make because you think you have an edge on the market.
There are probably a couple of reasons. For one, the Florida Panthers are the host of the All-Star Game and play in the Atlantic. That probably shouldn’t matter, but perhaps it is having some sort of impact here. The other reason the Atlantic is the favorite may be because it has been the best division in the NHL this season with the Bruins, Maple Leafs and Lightning leading the charge. Once again, I don’t think that should matter in a 3-on-3 exhibition.
Additionally, I don’t know if the Atlantic should even be favored over the Metro. Every team will have a wealth of starpower, but the Metro easily has the best goaltending tandem with Igor Shesterkin and Ilya Sorokin set to tend the cage. Every team’s talent level is roughly the same in this competition, but the only true difference could come in goal, where the Metro has a leg up on everyone else.
