Everything you need to know about WP Hockey Predictor

About the Tool

What is WP Hockey Predictor?

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.

Our track record speaks for itself — a 60.7% win rate across the 2025-26 season, 64% in the 2024-25 regular season, and a scorching 67% during the 2025 Playoffs. All results are independently verified on Action Network.

How does the NHL Game Prediction Tool work?

The prediction algorithm crunches data from multiple sources to build a composite rating for each team in a given matchup:

  • Team analytics — Advanced stats from Natural Stat Trick (Corsi, expected goals, shooting %, etc.)
  • Goaltending — Starting goalie save percentage, goals saved above expected (GSAA), and current form
  • Injuries — Key player absences and their impact on team strength
  • Recent form — Last 5 games moneyline odds from oddsmakers
  • Schedule context — Back-to-back game detection and fatigue adjustments

You select an Away and Home team, choose the starting goalies, and the tool instantly returns a win probability and line pick. It’s completely free to use.

Is the NHL Game Prediction Tool free to use?

Yes! The NHL Game Prediction Tool (the manual calculator) is 100% free. You can run as many predictions as you want, for any matchup, any time. No account or payment required.

Optional paid features include ad-free browsing and WP Auto Picks (algorithm-generated daily picks).

WP Auto Picks

What are WP Auto Picks?

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 does it all automatically once starting goalies are confirmed.

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

What is the WP All-Access Pass?

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.

When are WP Auto Picks posted each day?

Picks are generated automatically as starting goalies are confirmed throughout the day. NHL teams typically announce their starters in the hours leading up to puck drop, so most picks appear during the afternoon and evening (ET).

If you’ve opted in to email notifications, you’ll receive an email as soon as new picks are ready — no need to keep refreshing.

Can I view past picks for free?

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.

Why are some articles locked?

Each game day, a handful of NHL articles are available free for everyone to read. The remaining articles for that day are exclusive to pass holders (WP Auto Picks, Ad-Free Monthly, or WP All-Access).

Once the game day is over, all articles become free to read — so the lock only applies to today’s content. It’s our way of giving you a taste while rewarding subscribers with same-day access to the full slate.

Accuracy & Track Record

How accurate are the predictions?

Here’s the verified track record:

  • 2025-26 NHL Season: 270-175 (60.7% win rate)
  • 2024-25 Regular Season: 64% win rate
  • 2025 NHL Playoffs: 67% win rate
  • Last 30 Days: 64% win rate

All results are publicly tracked and verified on Action Network — no cherry-picked stats, just every single pick on the record.

Where can I verify the win rate?

Our full pick history is publicly available on Action Network, a trusted third-party sports betting tracking platform. Every pick is logged before puck drop — nothing is added or removed after the fact.

Account & Access

How do I restore my pass on a different device or browser?

Easy — just click the Sign In button on the site. You can restore access using:

  • Google Sign-In — One click if you used the same Google account at checkout.
  • Email verification — Enter the email address you used when purchasing your pass.

Your pass is tied to your email, not your device, so it travels with you.

Do I need an account to use the prediction tool?

No. The NHL Game Prediction Tool is completely free and requires no sign-up. You only need to sign in if you want to access paid features like WP Auto Picks or ad-free browsing.

iOS App

Is there a mobile app?

Yes! WP Hockey Predictor is available as a free download on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. The app includes all the same features as the website — the prediction calculator, WP Auto Picks, Daily Parlay Play, matchup articles, and pick archive.

Is my account shared between the website and the iOS app?

Yes. Sign in with the same Google account on both platforms and your pass, predictions, and notification preferences carry over automatically. A subscription purchased on the website works in the app, and vice versa.

Can I purchase a pass through the iOS app?

Yes. The iOS app offers the same subscription plans via Apple In-App Purchase. Prices are displayed in your local currency as determined by Apple. You can also purchase directly on the website through Stripe if you prefer.

How do I get push notifications for new picks?

When you first open the app, you’ll be asked to allow notifications. You can also enable or disable them anytime in the Account tab under Notifications. Push alerts are available for:

  • New WP Auto Picks
  • Daily Parlay Play
  • New articles
  • Pick results

You can also manage notifications through your iPhone’s Settings > Notifications > WP Hockey Predictor.

How do I request a refund for an in-app purchase?

Purchases made through the iOS app are processed by Apple. To request a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in with your Apple ID, find the purchase, and select “Request a Refund.”

If you experienced a service issue (site downtime, picks not generating), contact us at [email protected] and we can provide documentation to support your refund request with Apple.

Does the app track my data or use analytics?

No. The iOS app does not use any third-party analytics, tracking SDKs, or advertising. We do not collect device identifiers, location data, or browsing history. The only data stored on your device is a session token (secured in the iOS Keychain) to keep you signed in. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Other

What is WP's Daily Parlay Play?

WP’s Daily Parlay Play is a full-slate NHL prediction report generated 30 minutes before the first puck drop each day. Unlike WP Auto Picks (which are released game-by-game as goalies are confirmed), the Parlay Play covers every NHL game in a single report so you can build informed parlay bets.

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.

What is WP Goalie Frenzy?

WP Goalie Frenzy is a free arcade mini-game you can play while waiting for starting goalies to be confirmed on game day. It’s a fun way to pass the time before picks drop — give it a shot!

How can I contact support?
