Tip - How to Bet NHL Pucklines

Like with baseball, moneylines and totals are the most popular forms of NHL betting, but pucklines are also available for bettors willing to dig a little deeper for some profits. The puckline, like the runline in MLB betting, is hockey’s version of the spread. Oddsmakers favor one team by 1.5 goals, while the other team heads into the game as a 1.5-goal underdog. Odds and payouts are adjusted accordingly based on the relative strengths of the clubs in question.
