Odds API by market / NHL
NHL Puck Line API
The spreads board is not posted right now. This page keeps the last measured window — 200settled outcomes — and reactivates on its own the first build after books post the market again. The endpoint, the response shape and the free tier work today.
No credit card. 1,000 requests / day on the free tier.
What NHL puck line is
Hockey's handicap, and it is almost always exactly ±1.5 goals — books move the PRICE rather than the number. Alternate puck lines arrive in the same response.
How we settle it. Settled against the final goal margin, empty-netters included.
Every number on this page is measured against the live API, never copied from a spec sheet. Last measured 16 August 2026.
Books that last posted NHL puck line
Measured on the last slate that carried it, 16 August 2026. When books post it again, this list rebuilds from whichever ones actually do.
Line shopping across all of them is one request — every book arrives in the same bookmakers array, not one call per book. Add ?bookmakers= to narrow it, or use /best-line for the best price per line already ranked.
Recently settled NHL puck line outcomes
These are real rows out of the API, not an illustration. Each one was a price on a board before the event and carries the actual figure it was graded against afterwards. No other odds API returns that last column — they stop at the price.

Hit rate, last posted window
54.5% of 200 settled puck line legs hit (109 yes, 91no). Counted on the YES side only — books that price this two-way contribute their Over leg, not both. That is the base rate across the whole priced field, not a per-player figure.
Per-player hit rates and L5 / L10 / L20 splits live on /trends.
Live response
Captured from the real endpoint on FLA Panthers @ CAR Hurricanes while it was posted, trimmed to one book and three outcomes so the shape stays readable. The full response carries every book and every line, alternates included, in the same call.

}The response shape is the-odds-api compatible — events, bookmakers, markets, outcomes — so migrating is usually a base URL change.
