How to read NHL odds

Ready to place your bet? Our NHL odds are easy to grasp. Decimal odds will be most familiar, showing you how much you could cash in if you win. When betting on the NHL, you can work out decimal odds by multiplying your stake by the decimal of your chosen bet.

For example, if you bet $1 on a wager with odds of 7.0, you’ll win $7 ($1 x 7.0 = $7). If successful, your original stake will be included in your winnings, so, in this instance, you’d take home $6 profit.  

The lower the number, the more likely the win. Likewise, higher numbers represent lower odds, but better payouts. Find out more about NHL betting online with our guide to how to bet on the NHL.

Hockey broadcasts and most Canadian sports coverage quote American odds, so it helps to know both odds formats. A favourite carries a minus sign: at -135 (1.74), you'd need to bet $135 to make $100 profit, so a $10 bet returns about $17.40. An underdog carries a plus sign: at +115 (2.15), a $10 bet returns $21.50, which is $11.50 profit plus your stake. As implied probability, -135 works out to about 57% and +115 to about 47%. These prices are illustrative, not live lines.

The NHL odds tonight are listed above, with the puck line, game total and moneyline shown for each matchup. Lines are not fixed once they go up: oddsmakers move them as starting goalies are confirmed, injury news lands and betting volume tips one way or the other, so the betting odds NHL fans check in the afternoon can look different by puck drop. If you want the freshest number, check back shortly before the game starts, and remember that line movement tells you where the money is going, not who is going to win.

NHL live betting and in-play odds

Yes! Here at Betway, we’re known to champion the hustle both on and off the ice. Keep your edge with live in-play betting across all our most popular markets, including the NHL. Our live sports betting markets are updated constantly so you can take action in the middle of a game.

After the puck drops, NHL live odds update in real time as the game changes shape. An NHL inplay bet can be as simple as backing the moneyline after a team goes down early, or you can get more specific with the next goal scorer, period betting on who wins the second or third, a live game total, or the puck line at a mid-game price. Overtime betting opens up when a game is tied late. In-play markets cover the regular season and NHL playoffs, plus select international competitions where available.

Common NHL bet types

You’ll find a range of bet types onsite, but here are the main ones: 

Over/under (game totals)

Betting on the total number of points scored in an NHL game.

Game totals in the NHL usually sit around 5.5 or 6.5 goals, and overtime counts towards the final number. As an illustrative example, over 6.5 might be priced at +105 (2.05) and under 6.5 at -125 (1.80), with the odds on each side shifting as the line moves.

NHL Prop bets

Proposition bets (props) are a type of side wager that bet on outcomes outside the game’s main results, such as the final score. For example, you might place a prop bet on game occurrences like team milestones and player performance.

Player props are the popular ones in hockey: an anytime goal scorer, a skater to record a point, or a goaltender's saves total.

Puck line 

Similar to a point spread, puck line bets wager on whether a team will win or lose by a certain amount of goals. This gives bettors the benefit of betting on both teams, often placing the underdogs at an advantage of +1.5.

Stanley Cup futures

The Outrights tab above the game listing is where you'll find NHL futures, including Stanley Cup odds on every team to lift the trophy. The Carolina Hurricanes won the 2026 Stanley Cup, and their price to repeat, like everyone else's, will shift through the season as form, injuries and trades change the picture. Futures stay open from preseason right up until the playoffs.

NHL Betting Sites: What to Look for When You Bet on NHL

When you compare NHL betting sites, start with the licence. Betway is a licensed and regulated online sportsbook, so players of legal age in their province are covered by deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion tools as standard. After that, look at how many markets are open on a typical game night, the depth of the in-play range, competitive puck line odds, and whether the mobile experience holds up. Betway lists game lines, totals and props on every NHL matchup, with the same hockey betting menu on desktop and in the app, so you can bet NHL games wherever you are.
