Competitive Ice hockey odds for Every League
To build a winning bankroll, you need access to the sharpest ice hockey odds on the market. We provide comprehensive coverage across all major leagues, including:
- NHL: The pinnacle of the sport, with odds on every regular-season and playoff game.
- International Leagues: Deep markets for the SHL, Liiga, DEL, and Champions Hockey League.
- Global Tournaments: Full pricing for the IIHF World Championships and Olympic hockey.
Our traders monitor the lines 24/7, ensuring that when a backup goalie is announced or a star winger hits the injured reserve, our odds reflect the most accurate data available.
Dominate the Spread: The NHL Puck Line
In hockey, the most popular way to play the spread is the NHL puck line. Because hockey is often a one-goal game, the standard puck line is almost always set at +/- 1.5 goals.
- The Favorite (-1.5): They must win by 2 or more goals for your bet to cash. This is a great way to find value when you expect a blowout or an empty-net goal late in the third.
- The Underdog (+1.5): They can lose by exactly one goal (or win the game outright) for you to win the bet.
At 24 Sports, we also offer “Alternate Puck Lines,” giving you the flexibility to move the spread to 2.5 or even 3.5 for those who want to hunt for higher payouts.
NHL Totals Betting: Over/Under Goals
Will it be a defensive masterclass or a high-scoring shootout? NHL totals betting allows you to wager on the combined number of goals scored by both teams. While the standard line often sits at 5.5 or 6.5, we provide dynamic totals for:
- Full Game: Including overtime and shootouts.
- Individual Team Totals: Bet on whether a specific team will find the back of the net more than three times.
- Period Totals: Perfect for bettors who notice a team typically starts slow or finishes strong.
Next-Level Analysis: NHL Player Props
Modern fans follow the stars. Our NHL player props suite allows you to wager on individual performances, regardless of the final score. Our most popular player markets include:
- Anytime Goalscorer: Back the league’s elite snipers to find the net.
- Power Play Points: Wager on which specialists will capitalize on the man advantage.
- Shots on Goal: Over/under lines for volume shooters like Nathan MacKinnon or Auston Matthews.
- Goaltender Saves: Predict whether a goalie will be under siege or have a quiet night in the crease.

Ice Hockey Betting FAQ
What is the “Puck Line” in NHL betting?
The NHL puck line is the hockey version of a point spread. The favorite is usually -1.5 (must win by 2+) and the underdog is +1.5 (can lose by 1 or win outright).
Does ice hockey match betting include overtime?
It depends on the market. “2-Way Moneyline” bets typically include overtime and shootouts. “60-Minute” or “3-Way” markets only count the result at the end of regulation time.
Can I bet on NHL player props during the game?
Most NHL player props are available pre-game, but we offer select live props for major matchups, such as “Next Goalscorer.”
How do NHL totals work?
You are betting on whether the total goals scored by both teams will be over or under a set number (e.g., 6.5). If the game ends 4-3, the “Over” wins.
Who has the best Stanley Cup odds right now?
As of February 2026, the Colorado Avalanche are the betting favorites, followed closely by the Edmonton Oilers and Tampa Bay Lightning.
