NHL Moneyline Betting Explained
This is the simplest way to bet: just pick who wins.
- Favorites have a minus sign (e.g., Rangers -150) — bet $150 to win $100
- Underdogs have a plus sign (e.g., Canucks +130) — bet $100 to win $130
Most NHL moneyline bets include overtime and shootouts. You can also combine multiple teams into a parlay to increase your payout, but all legs must win.
NHL Puck Line (Spread) Betting
The Puck Line is hockey’s version of the point spread — typically set at -1.5 for favorites and +1.5 for underdogs.
- Example: Maple Leafs -1.5 (+160) vs. Canadiens +1.5 (-180)
- A Leafs puck line bet wins if they win by 2+ goals
- A Habs puck line bet wins if they win outright or lose by 1
The line often includes a hook — a half-goal (.5) added to avoid a tie or push, where no one wins and your stake is refunded.
NHL Over/Under (Totals) Betting
Here you’re betting on the combined goals scored by both teams.
- Example: Over/Under 6.5 goals
- Bet the over if you think 7+ goals will be scored
- Bet the under if you expect 6 or fewer
Check team form, starting goalies, and head-to-head trends for sharper totals betting.

First Period Betting
Wager on first-period winner, total goals, or team to score first. Popular for in-play and pregame action.
Player Props
Markets like:
- Player to score a goal

NHL Odds Movement
Lines can shift based on:
