NHL Betting FAQ
How do NHL puck lines work?
The puck line is hockey's version of the point spread. The favorite is typically -1.5 goals, meaning they must win by 2 or more goals. The underdog is +1.5, meaning they can lose by 1 goal or win outright. Puck line odds adjust based on each team's likelihood of covering.
What are NHL totals (over/under)?
Totals betting involves predicting whether the combined score of both teams will be over or under a set number. For example, if the total is set at 6.5, you bet on whether the final combined score will be 7+ (over) or 6 or less (under).
How does moneyline betting work in hockey?
Moneyline betting is simply picking which team will win the game (including overtime/shootout). Hockey moneylines are popular due to the low-scoring nature of the game. Favorites have negative odds (e.g., -150) and underdogs have positive odds (e.g., +130).
When are NHL lines released?
Opening lines for NHL games are typically released 1-2 days before the game, once starting goaltenders are confirmed. Lines can move based on goalie announcements, injuries, and betting action.
