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. The underdog team can lose by one goal and still cover the puck line. NHL action sees many 3-2 and 4-3 games and shootouts in hockey, this can be profitable. You will also see a -135 or +180 value.
How to Bet Puck-Line Odds
Hockey can occasionally have rather high money line prices, with heavy favorites, either due to a lopsided matchup based upon the standings or an uneven goaltender matchup, perhaps. Heavy favorites are commonplace, making the money-line wagers particularly risky. It is required to risk quite a bit for a very small return./p>
So puck-line wagers can be a much better value, as you will bet on a favorite to win by a spread, more often than not at 1 ½ goals, and you risk less than on a money-line. You can also bet underdogs on the puck-line.
Washington -1 ½ +145 (Bet $100 to win $145)
Detroit +1 ½ -175 (Bet $100 to win $57.10)
In the example listed above, Washington is listed as the favorite (-), while Detroit is considered the underdog. If you were to select the Capitals, who need to win by at least two goals, they would return a total of $245, which includes a $145 win and your original $100 stake. The fractional odds for the wager listed above would be 29/20, with the decimal format listed at 2.45.

If you were to pick the Red Wings in this particular instance, it is basically insurance because you do not believe in Detroit's ability to win outright. The Red Wings can lose by one goal, and you still cash a winning ticket, because they were able to cover the 'spread'. In the example listed above, a $100 winning wager on the Red Wings could return a total of just $57.10. The fractional odds for this particularly example would be 4/7, with the Red Wings listed at 1.571 using the decimal conversion, which is commonly used overseas.

According to The Boston Globe, a new puck with a tiny battery embedded, a circuit board around the size of half of a dollar, and six-inch-long tubes that let in infrared light at 60 pulses per second, is set to debut in the NHL this season.
Each puck will cost the league $40 to produce. This is part of the NHL unveiling its long-anticipated Puck and Player Tracking technology to get used for enhanced data collection and metrics, and the tidal wave of legalized sports betting that is on the way.
The puck will be six ounces, three inches wide, and one inch thick.
Players have told the Boston Globe that it feels the same on their sticks, fires just like the old version, and pings off the iron and rink boards with honest-to-Boom Boom Geoffrion auditory authenticity.
Because of the truncated season, the NHL logo will be the only one on the center of the pucks. Each team, including the Seattle Kraken who are set to make their debut in 2021-22, will have their logos on the pucks next season.
The critical tech element is the puck's battery-powered infrared light and the beam necessary to a triangulation system that also has 16-18 cameras inside each arena. Every NHL player will also be outfitted with an infrared tag (which will be the size and shape of a pack of the game) slipped into the backs of their jerseys.

Other than cameras mounted in the top and elsewhere in the arena, all of the light beams and associated PPT technology will not be seen. All of the puck and player movement will be tracked, recorded, and all of the information streamed into a giant data punch bowl.

These pucks are manufactured in three stages across three sits: Soucy Baron (produces raw form puck), SMT, Inc. (puts battery, circuit boards, and light tubes in each puck), and Inglasco, Inc. (uses a silkscreening process to place logos on the center).
The paint applied by Inglasco turns purple when the pucks are chilled to the appropriate temperature for gameplay. If purple fades to a gray tone, it will be pulled from play. During games, pucks will be stored in a tiny freeze box at rinkside, alongside the official scorer's position.
Once a puck is out of play, the arena tech crew will deactivate it from the PPT system and a new puck, with a unique embedded code, will be activated. The fan who goes home with the souvenir puck will just have a chunk of rubber, which will have a dead battery 4-6 hours later.
