The NHL puck line is essentially equal to that of the run line in baseball. This type of wager is a point spread and is offered standard in the industry at +/- 1.5. This means that you are either giving 1.5 goals and the team that you bet on must win by 2 or more goals or you are getting 1.5 goals and the team that you are betting on can lose by one goal but not more than one. A 2 or more goal loss, would mean that you have lost the bet.

 

*Example—Toronto Vs Tampa--- Tampa -1.5. If you were to bet on Tampa, then they must win the game by 2 or more goals. If you bet on Toronto, they can lose by 1 goal but not more than 1 or you have lost the bet.

 

*Example of spread odds—

 

·         Toronto Maple Leafs +120

·         Tampa Bay Lightning -140

 

Example of puck line odds—

 

·         Toronto Maple Leafs +1.5 (-160

·         Tampa Bay Lightning -1.5 (+180

 

As you can see, the odds have changed, and quite drastically. The reason for this is simple, the odds are now in favor of the underdog, they can actually lose by 1 goal and you have still won the bet. So, of course, you will have to put up more juice if you want to play the puck line underdog.
