I’m cruising right along with my daily best bet plays in 2026, mostly because I’ve been hot on the ice. So let’s head back to the rink once again tomorrow for another winner. For my best bet for Thursday, January 8th: NHL Predictions, we’re off to TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. Let’s get this money!
Best Bet For Thursday (January 8th): NHL Predictions
Calgary Flames vs Boston Bruins
Start Time: 7:00 PM EST
I’ve been having success fading the same team on back-to-back nights, so I’m doing that to the Calgary Flames tomorrow night. I have the Flames losing to the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday night (which will surely happen), and now I’m picking them to lose on the second night of a road back-to-back.
The fact that this game is indeed the second night of a road back-to-back is probably enough justification for picking the Boston Bruins to beat Calgary tomorrow night on their home ice. However, it also helps that the Flames are the worst road team in the NHL, posting a 6-13-2 record heading into their game in Montreal on Wednesday.
Boston is the better overall team (at least on offense they are – their D is pretty bad), and is a solid team at home. I like the Bruins on the moneyline tomorrow as my best bet.
Best Bet: Boston ML (-148)
Best Bet Overall 2026 Record: 4-2 (67%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $114.40
Return on Investment: 19%
