NHL puck line FAQ
Which NHL team has the best puck line record in 2025-26?
The Boston Bruins: 53-29 (64.6%).
How often do NHL favorites cover -1.5?
In 2025-26, -1.5 favorites covered 430 of 1312 games (32.8%). Empty net goals late in close games are a big part of why favorites win by two.
Does overtime count for the puck line?
Yes. Sportsbooks grade the puck line on the final score including overtime and the shootout, so a shootout win is a one goal win.
Methodology
Final scores and the closing 1.5 puck line for every regular season game since 2016-17 come from the Bet Legend game database. A side covers when its final margin, including overtime and the shootout, plus its puck line is above zero. Puck line units use the sportsbook closing puck line and price ESPN publishes (DraftKings or ESPN BET). These are market results, not BetLegend picks.
