How Do NHL Betting Lines Work?

Here's how some additional information on NHL lines and odds:

  • Moneyline: The simplest wager in sports, a moneyline bet is simply picking which team you think will win. The final score and margin of victory don't matter here. If you bet on the Bruins' moneyline and they win, your wager is successful.
  • Puck line: The puck line is comparable to a spread bet in other sports, with the main difference being the puck line is almost always set at 1.5 goals. If you back Boston on the puck line at -1.5, they would have to win by 2 or more goals for your wager to hit. 
  • Totals: Totals can involve game or team totals. For example, the game total for Boston and Chicago on Tuesday night was 6.5 goals. The team combined for three goals so the over at -110 did not connect as three is far less than 6.5.
  • Player Props: NHL player props are typically centered around some sort of statistical outcome. Say Brad Marchand has a line of 3.5 shots on goal. That means if Marchand fires four or more shots on goal, bettors who took the over would win their bet.
  • Futures: Futures in hockey can involve a wide spectrum from simply making the playoffs to winning the Stanley Cup. Boston is now tied for fourth to win the Eastern Conference at +750 with the New York Rangers for example.
