Types of Bruins bets
There are seemingly endless options when it comes to betting on the NHL. When betting on the Bruins, Massachusetts bettors can choose from moneylines, puck lines, player props, team props, and player/team futures. These are some of the most popular NHL wagers out there among hockey fans.
If you want to up the ante, you can even bet the grand salami, which is an over/under bet on the total number of combined goals scored among all NHL games that day, including the Bruins.
Here is a quick breakdown of common NHL wagers:
Moneylines
NHL moneyline bets work similarly to moneyline bets in other sports. When betting on NHL moneylines, you are betting on who you think will win the game. That’s it. If you bet on the Bruins to win and they do, you win money. Simple as that.
Puck lines
Things get a little more interesting with puck lines. NHL puck lines work similarly to point spreads in football or hockey. But because the scoring is vastly different in hockey, puck lines are usually -1.5 for favorites and +1.5 for underdogs. This would mean that if you bet on the favored team (-1.5), you would need them to win by two or more goals to win your bet. It is somewhat rare to see puck lines of -2.5 or +2.5 in the NHL.
Player/team props
Many sportsbooks offer both player and team props for NHL games. Popular player props include total shots on goal, saves, goals, and points for an individual player in a game. Team props involve a team going over or under their listed goal total, total shots on goal, and time of first goal.
Player/Team Futures
In addition to player and team prop bets for an individual game, hockey fans can bet on player and team futures. Player props include statistics such as over/under total goals a player will have over the course of a season.
Other popular NHL player futures are who you think will win Awards such as the Calder or Vezina trophies. Team futures include Stanley Cup winner, Eastern/Western Conference winner, division winner, and over/under total points for a team over the course of a season.
