Frequently Asked Questions

WP Hockey Predictor is an advanced NHL game prediction tool that has been calling shots since the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs. It analyzes real-time team statistics, goalie performance, injuries, recent form, and more to generate win probabilities for every NHL matchup.

2025–26 NHL regular-season recorded picks: 452–318 (58.7%) across 770 picks. 2026 NHL playoff recorded picks: 60–22 (73.2%) across 82 picks.

Recorded picks only. Includes reconciled Action Network history from November 14, 2025 through February 5, 2026 and automated records from March 4 onward. Identical selections count once. The January 31 Toronto–Vancouver matchup is excluded pending confirmation of the original primary pick. Playoff figures cover graded published picks in the automated archive, April 18–June 14, 2026. These are separate regular-season and playoff records, not a claim that every NHL game or every prediction issued that season is covered. Win rate is wins divided by wins plus losses; pushes, voids and ungraded picks are excluded. This is the main Picks record, not Parlay success, goalscorer accuracy or ROI. Record and verification details.

Select the away and home teams and starting goalies. Review key injuries, exclude or restore listed players, and use the available player selector to adjust your scenario. Key injuries are included by default; the switch lets you turn that adjustment off for your manual prediction. Your scenario does not change the official Picks or their grading record.

WP uses a proprietary statistical model to assess a matchup. The calculator lets you explore different goalie and injury assumptions. Information can change before puck drop, and incomplete reports remain a source of uncertainty. A confidence tier is not a guarantee or an exact probability. Read how it works.

The calculator has a free allowance, normally 3 predictions per day, with the current allowance shown in the calculator. Eligible passes provide unlimited predictions. A free allowance is not unlimited access to all paid Picks, Parlay and article features.

Posted at is the initial publication time. Locked for grading is when the final selection was saved. The 5-minute Picks and 15-minute full-day Parlay cutoffs are targets; schedule changes, unavailable data and processing delays can delay or prevent a lock. Earlier archived records retain their original timing policy.

See the posting and grading-lock policy.

WP Auto Picks are algorithm-generated predictions for every NHL game on the schedule each day. Instead of manually running each matchup through the calculator, the system generates preliminary cards as inputs become available, then targets a final grading lock 5 minutes before each scheduled game. Goalie confirmation alone does not trigger an early grading lock.

Each pick card includes:

• WP’s official line pick (e.g., “Oilers ML” or “Panthers -1.5”)
• Win probability bars with team-colored visuals
• Starting goalie matchup with GSAA ratings
• Key injury report for both teams
• Goalscorer predictions for each side
• Game start time in ET

The WP All-Access Pass ($19.99 CAD / 30 days) is our best-value plan that combines the full perks of both WP Hockey Predictor sites into one pass:

• All WP Auto Picks features (daily algorithm-generated picks, goalscorer predictions, ad-free experience, email alerts)
• Daily NHL articles and full-slate overviews
• Full subscriber access to wphp.ca — WP’s Over/Under and xGF prediction tool
• Daily O/U prediction emails from wphp.ca (if opted in)

Use the same email address on both sites and your All-Access pass will be recognized automatically.

Preliminary Picks may appear throughout the day as inputs become available and may change. Each game targets a final lock 5 minutes before its scheduled puck drop. The saved lock timestamp records the actual lock; the initial posting time does not.

If you’ve opted in, pick alerts are sent after selections are locked. Delivery can be delayed and is not guaranteed before puck drop. Check the app or website for the saved record.

Absolutely. The WP Auto Picks Archive lets you browse every past game day’s picks completely free of charge. It’s a great way to evaluate the tool’s track record before committing to a pass.

Today’s picks are exclusive to pass holders until games are finished.

Complete current game-day matchup articles and daily overviews require an eligible pass. Free overview teasers and selected feature articles can remain public. Past game-day articles become available under the archive rules, using the service-day boundary at 3:00 AM Eastern. An ad-free calculator pass does not necessarily include every article feature; check the selected plan.

The original historical entries are on Action Network; its all-time account total is not the reconciled season total. The public Picks archive supports the automated period. The analytics dashboard combines historical backtests with later live records and is not the official published-pick record. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

WP’s Daily Parlay Play is a full-slate NHL prediction report targeting a lock 15 minutes before the first scheduled puck drop each day. Unlike WP Auto Picks (which target a final lock 5 minutes before each scheduled game), the Parlay Play covers every NHL game in a single report so you can build informed parlay bets.

Once saved, every leg remains frozen, including later games. Subsequent lineup, injury, goalie or odds changes do not update that slate, so its selections can differ from the individual Picks locked closer to each game.

Games where WP picks the betting underdog are flagged with an (Underdog Alert) badge. The report includes win probabilities, goalie matchups, injury data, and goalscorer picks for every game. Today’s parlay requires a picks pass; past parlays are free to browse.

WP Goalie Frenzy is a free arcade mini-game you can play on game day. It’s a fun way to pass the time before puck drop — give it a shot!
