Betting on NHL - Ice Hockey

Big hits, bigger goals, and the biggest names on ice — Welcome to NHL betting! With NHL odds shifting nightly and games dropping nearly every day, Unibet puts you right in the thick of it — from regular season drama to the madness of the playoffs. Get stuck into puck line betting, player props, and a stack of exciting NHL betting markets, including full access to in-play NHL betting and bet builder tools.

What Is the NHL & How Does It Work?

The NHL (National Hockey League) is North America’s premier pro ice hockey league. It’s got 32 elite teams from the U.S. and Canada — each team battles through a gruelling 82-game regular season before the high-stakes Stanley Cup Playoffs. 

The action kicks off in early October and runs all the way to the Stanley Cup Final in June, giving us months of non-stop NHL betting opportunities. UK fans can’t get enough of the fast-paced, high-scoring action and late-night thrillers of ice hockey betting, so it’s no wonder that the NHL has become a top winter sports market among fellow Brits. 

As with any kind of betting, betting on the NHL has some unpredictability —- and that’s all part of the fun. Underdogs win, comebacks happen, and a single power play can flip a game.

Top NHL Betting Markets to Explore

With Unibet NHL betting, you get full access to dozens of the most popular markets. Not sure which market to place your bets on? Here’s a breakdown of the top NHL betting markets: 

  • Match Result: Bet on which team will win the game, whether it’s in regulation time, overtime, or a shootout.
  • Moneyline: A straight-up bet on which team will win the game, including overtime and shootout outcomes — it’s simple and popular. 
  • Puck Line (Point Spread): The NHL’s version of spread betting — typically set at +/-1.5 goals. A favourite must win by 2+; an underdog can lose by 1 or win outright. 
  • Total Goals (Over/Under): Predict whether the total number of goals scored by both teams will be over or under a line set by the sportsbook. 
  • First/Last Goalscorer: Bet on which player will score the first or last goal of the game — perfect if you follow form and lineups. 
  • Period Betting: Wager on specific periods — who’ll win the first, how many goals in the second, and more granular ice hockey betting action. 
  • Outright Winner (Stanley Cup Futures): Bet on which team will lift the Stanley Cup — long-term value often lies in backing dark horses early at strong Stanley Cup odds. 
  • In-Play Betting & Bet Builder NHL: Jump in as the action unravels with in-play NHL betting, or make your own custom bets using the Unibet Bet Builder NHL

NHL Betting Tips for UK Punters

There are a few nifty ways to get the odds in your favour and cash in when you bet on the NHL. Whether you’re a seasoned bettor or just getting started, check out these top tips:
 

  • Goalie Matchups & Injuries: Always check starting goalies — a backup in net can swing the odds and open up value. 
  • Back-to-Back Games & Travel Fatigue: Fatigue is real in the NHL. Teams playing two nights in a row or coming off long travel journeys often underperform, so keep an eye out for tired players, slower starts, and second-period slumps. 
  • Home Ice Advantage Trends: Some teams thrive in front of their fans; others, not so much. Check track records of home games to reveal smart betting opportunities. 
  • Power Play and Penalty Kill Stats: Special teams matter — dominant power plays or stingy penalty kills can dictate tight matchups. 
  • Look for Team Momentum & Hot Streaks: Hockey’s a streaky sport. Ride the wave of a hot team on a winning run for betting value. 
  • Watch the Lineups & Betting Trends Close to Face-Off: Late scratches and line shifts happen, so monitor updates and NHL odds movement right up to the puck drop.
