The reads behind them

Form here is 60% of a player's last ten games and 40% of his season rate, last season's until this one has enough games behind it, weighed against the best price a reader can take, with the vig still in it, and against what the matchup says. NHL props on this site are read on form and the matchup, and the price is taken as the books post it, vig included, which is the stricter test. A prop only appears when at least two books quote it and the matchup backs it as well as the form does.

What this is, and what it is not

These are our strongest market-specific props, chosen on the best combination of recent form, season baseline, the matchup itself, and the line actually available. NHL props on this site are read on form and the matchup, not on price, and none of it is called an edge. The Lab's card is a separate five-pick slate selected across every market, and it is graded on the public record.

Where the record lives: the Lab's public record starts Sep 25, 2026, the card and the boosts together, with every pick and every loss on the results page. Each prop above is frozen with the exact price and book shown from the moment it was published. These angles are not on that graded record; the card and the boosts are.
