NHL Team ATS Standings, 1st, 2nd, 3rd Period Betting Trends & Results

How To Read NHL ATS Standings

Game

When Game is selected at the top, that will show the records and results for full-game betting on the Money Line, Spread, or Total.

1P, 2P, 3P

Hockey has periods, not halves like football or basketball. When 1P, 2P, or 3P are selected, that will show the records and results for 1st Period, 2nd Period, or 3rd Period betting on the Money Line, Spread, or Total.

Money Line

Money line betting means simply picking the winner of the game with the odds that are posted. The standings show wins and losses for the teams, depending on whether or not you are looking at Game, 1P, 2P, or 3P.

Overall is the total record, while Home is the record for home games only and Away is the record for road games only.

The number in parentheses is the amount of money up or down a bettor would be if he or she bet $100 on every game. A number in red is bad, meaning that team has lost money, and a number in black is good, meaning that team has won money.

Spread

The spread bet in the NHL is also called the puck line. For favorites, the spread is -1.5 and for underdogs, the spread is +1.5. You would add 1.5 goals to the underdog OR subtract 1.5 goals from the favorite to see which team covered the puck line.

For example, if the Capitals beat the Penguins 3-1 as a favorite, they would have been -1.5 on the puck line, so they’d “win” the game 1.5 to 1. Similarly, if the Penguins lost by one goal or won the game, they’d also win the +1.5 puck line.

Depending on the heading selected, you can see spread (puck line) results for the full game and for each period, again with the dollar amount up or down a $100 bettor would be betting on the puck line for that segment of the game.

Total

Totals betting, or over/under, is popular with NHL bettors. This is a measure of how many total goals will be scored in the game. Most NHL totals are 5.5 or 6, so the combined score for both teams would have to be over or under that number.

Once again, you can see the records, results, and profit or loss for each team by each segment of the game or at home or away.

The third number is a push, so the record goes Over-Under-Push left to right. A “good” record means more overs than unders. A “bad” record” is more unders than overs.
