The 2024-2025 NHL hockey season is back, and the Doc's Sports team is here to provide you with winning expert NHL picks daily. The season begins on October 4th and the Florida Panthers will try to repeat as champions.

Every pick that we provide is accompanied by a detailed write-up with full reasoning and explanation. Each NHL experts pick is rated on a scale of 1-8, with 8 being the strongest.

Each handicapper has his own unique style and approach but, on most days, you can expect between 1-3 expert picks with the ratings varying based on the overall strength of the play. We take the approach of "quality over quantity" and our picks represent the best value on the board on any given night.
