Hockey puck line picks
The puck line for every game in the next week across all our competitions, the side the model backs and its chance to cover. A win after overtime or a shootout is by one goal, so −1.5 needs a two-goal win in regulation.

Puck line picks: questions
- What is the puck line?
- The puck line is hockey's handicap, almost always 1.5 goals. −1.5 means the favourite has to win by two or more; +1.5 means the underdog covers if it wins, or loses by a single goal. Overtime and shootout wins are by one goal, so they never cover −1.5.
- How is the puck line pick worked out?
- From the chance of every final score: each team's expected goals come from its attack and defence ratings and the home-ice edge of the league, and the chance of a two-goal win in regulation decides −1.5. Where bookmakers price the game, their consensus is blended in.
- What does the chance to cover mean?
- It is how likely the side the model backs is to beat the line, not just to win the game. A favourite can be 65% to win and still under 40% to win by two goals.
- Why can the puck line pick and the winner pick point different ways?
- The winner pick asks who wins; the puck line asks whether the margin beats 1.5 goals. Many hockey games are decided by one goal, so the likely winner is often not the better side of −1.5.
- Are these picks free?
- Yes. Every line on this page is free to read, with no sign-up.
