Reading NHL Moneyline Odds on nextplay24

An NHL moneyline bet is straightforward: you're backing one team to win the game outright in regulation, overtime, or a shootout. The odds are expressed in American format — a negative number like -145 tells you how much you need to wager to collect $100 in profit, while a positive number like +125 tells you how much you'd collect on a $100

wager. Favorites carry negative odds; underdogs carry positive ones. On nextplay24, every NHL game card shows both sides of the moneyline alongside the puck line and totals, so you can compare the value before committing your stake. When the line moves in the hours before puck drop, that shift often reflects injury news or goalie confirmations — details worth tracking before you

lock in.

NHL Moneyline Terms Worth Knowing

What does 'moneyline' mean in NHL betting?

A moneyline bet is a straight pick on which team wins the game. No point spread involved — just back the winner and the American-format odds determine your payout.

What is the puck line in hockey?

The puck line is hockey's version of a point spread, set at 1.5 goals. It offers better odds on the favorite but requires them to win by two or more goals to cover.

What does 'juice' or 'vig' mean on a moneyline?

Juice is the sportsbook's margin built into the odds. On a -110/-110 line both sides carry equal implied probability, with the difference accounting for the house margin.

What is a two-way moneyline in NHL?

A two-way moneyline covers both regulation and overtime or shootout. If your team wins by any method in the full game, the bet cashes — no draw option exists in hockey moneylines.

What does 'line movement' mean?

Line movement describes when the posted moneyline odds shift from their opening price. Sharp wagers, injury news, or goalie changes are common reasons a line moves before puck drop.

What is a same-game parlay in NHL?

A same-game parlay combines multiple NHL markets from one game — like the moneyline, a goal-scorer prop, and the total — into a single bet with a combined payout multiplier.

Common Questions About NHL Moneyline Betting

Yes. On nextplay24, NHL moneyline bets cover the full game result — regulation, overtime, and shootout all count. The team that wins by any method wins your moneyline wager.

A -160 moneyline means you'd need to wager $160 to profit $100. The negative sign marks the favorite. The higher the number, the more heavily favored that team is by oddsmakers.

Underdogs carry positive odds — a +135 moneyline returns $135 profit on a $100 wager. NHL games are low-scoring and upsets happen regularly, so underdog moneylines attract real attention from sharp bettors.

Yes. NHL moneylines can be combined with other game lines, including same-game parlay legs like player props and totals. Each additional leg multiplies the potential payout and the required accuracy.

Bets settle once the official game result is confirmed, typically within minutes of the final buzzer. Overtime and shootout results are included automatically — no manual adjustment needed on your end.

Starting goalie news is one of the most significant line movers in hockey. If a confirmed starter is scratched, the moneyline can shift several points in either direction before puck drop.
