The NHL puck line is like a point spread. But the point spread is always the same. The NHL puck line is always -1.5 goals for the favorite and +1.5 goals for the underdog. If you bet the favorite on a puck line, you’re betting they will win by two goals or more. NHL Team 2 score 5 -1.5 = 3.5 while NHL Team 1 score is 3 + 1.5 = 4.5. How to Bet Puck line Wagers on Ice Hockey and Field Hockey. Puck line wagers are safer than moneyline bets at times because there is a safety net created by the range. The provision for covering the spread, almost allows room for “error” as it were. In this type of betting, the NHL puck line is reversed. What this means is that the puck line of 1.5 is actually subtracted from the underdogs, or added to the favored team. For the underdogs to be the winning bet, they must not only beat the favorites but do so by 2 or more goal difference. The underdog team can lose by one goal and still cover the puck line.

In the example above, a $100 winning wager on the Coyotes would fetch a total return of $245, which includes a $145 win and the original $100 stake. The fractional odds would be listed as 29/20, while the Coyotes would be shown at 2.45 with the decimal conversion.
