Unlike a financial analyst who must dissect hundreds of lines of financial data as well as hundreds of notes to financial statements, the typical amateur NHL analyst need only keep up on several surface areas. The easiest way to stay up to date on your own game is to read the NHL game highlights.
The most obvious reason why you can get away with reading the NHL game highlights instead of each and every line of text is that the highlights capture the most important factors that affect that particular game or series. Just as a news article will reveal the most important details up front (starting with the title, then the first paragraph, then the second and so on) NHL game highlights will provide all relevant information in one area.
Things to look for when browsing the highlights are key player injuries, new player statistics, team stats, game outcomes, and so on. For example, injuries will give an indication as to what one might expect in upcoming games from that team, especially if a key player is injured and may be sitting out for some time (think of Paul Kariya of the St. Louis Blues).
Another detail the the highlights will reveal is player statistics. Often, you can find out whether a player has reached a personal best, and this could be an indication that this player is on a roll. Again, players who are hot are more likely to perform, particularly against higher-ranking teams.
A final detail to look for when perusing the NHL game highlights is player injuries. Even an injury is not sufficient enough to warrant that player getting placed on the team's Injured Reserve, the NHL game highlights will usually describe the extent of the injury sustained. This can suggest whether the player will under-perform in an upcoming game.
If you are looking to place bets on a game's outcome, whether through an office pool or an official gaming service, think of the NHL game highlights as a financial report of a company or, more specifically, an entire industry.
