NHL Betting Looks to Expand its Footprint in the 2024-25 Season

The NHL is back! The puck has officially dropped on the 2024-25 season. Professional hockey is arguably the smallest betting market among the major American sports leagues, but continues to see an uptick in action. The legalization of mobile betting in new states across the country has expanded the pool of potential hockey bettors. Recent partnerships with FanDuel and BetMGM are a clear sign that the NHL intends to lean into the legalized sports betting trend to entice new and existing fans of the game alike.

NHL Futures Odds

Got a hunch on this year's Stanley Cup winner? Feel like your team is a lock to win their conference? If so, you need to look into NHL futures.

The Action Network has compiled future odds for just about everything related to the NBA season including team performance and individual awards.

NHL Against the Spread (ATS) Records

Betting the spread is probably the least popular form of NHL betting. You may have seen the spread for NHL games referred to as the, “puckline”. This is because the spread is frequently 1.5 runs. The spread rarely changes, however the odds do. You can read more about runlines here. Even though betting on runlines is not extremely popular, these are good bets if you think a team will either win or lose by more than one run.

NHL Injury Report

Injuries always play a significant role in any NHL season. The loss of key players can dramatically alter a team's prospect for winning games. Not only that, but the absence of stars on the ice will also impact a game's odds. Seasoned bettors know to scour the injury reports before making a wager to ensure that their selection is one that takes into account who might be missing from the field in a given contest.
