NHL Odds API

Pull real-time NHL odds into your platform through our NHL odds API, a reliable, low-latency REST API built for developers who need accurate hockey betting data at scale.

Sports Game Odds covers every NHL game across the full 82-game regular season, Stanley Cup Playoffs, and Stanley Cup Final, delivering up-to-the-minute odds from 80+ bookmakers in one clean, unified feed.

From puck lines and period totals to goaltender props and player shot markets, our NHL odds API gives you the coverage and precision your application needs to keep pace with one of the fastest-moving betting markets in professional sports.

NHL Odds API Features

Hockey betting moves quickly. Lines shift with goaltender confirmations, injury updates, and line combinations, making real-time data access critical for any serious platform. The Sports Game Odds NHL API is built for exactly that, giving you fully customizable endpoints so you retrieve only the markets your application needs.

Available NHL betting markets include:

  • Moneylines
  • Puck lines (1.5 goal spread)
  • Totals (over/under goals)
  • Alternative lines and totals
  • Goaltender props (saves, goals allowed)
  • Skater props (goals, assists, points, shots on goal)
  • Game props and period-specific markets (first period, second period, third period)

All data is available pre-game and live, with odds refreshing in under 60 seconds so your platform reflects every line move as it happens.

NHL Player Props API

The NHL player props market has grown significantly in recent years, and our API gives you complete access to it. Query skater and goaltender proposition markets across every game on the schedule, covering everything from points and assists to shots on goal totals and save percentages.

Filter by player ID, stat type, or bookmaker to return only the props relevant to your platform. Whether you're building a shots on goal tracker, monitoring Connor McDavid's points line across all available books, or aggregating goaltender save props for an entire night of games, the data comes back structured and ready to use.

NHL Odds API with Results

Our API delivers NHL odds and game results together in a single response with no secondary calls and no data stitching required. Each response includes:

  • Live and upcoming NHL games
  • Home and away team data
  • Player and goaltender statistics
  • Full odds coverage: moneylines, puck lines, totals, player props, and alternative lines
  • Final scores and settlement data

Line movement tracking lets you monitor how NHL odds evolve from the moment starting goaltenders are confirmed through puck drop, giving you the market context needed for modeling, trading, and analytics.

Quick Start: Your First NHL Odds API Call

Fetching NHL odds takes a single HTTP request. Here's the quickest way to get upcoming NHL games with full odds:

https://api.sportsgameodds.com/v2/events?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY&oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=NHL&limit=10

This returns all available markets including moneylines, puck lines, totals, and player props across the next 10 NHL games.

To target a specific prop market, use the oddIDs parameter. For example, to pull shots on goal over/unders for all NHL skaters:

https://api.sportsgameodds.com/v2/events?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY&oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=NHL&oddIDs=shots_on_goal-PLAYER_ID-game-ou-over,shots_on_goal-PLAYER_ID-game-ou-under

Replace PLAYER_ID with a specific player ID to filter to one skater, for example pulling shots on goal props for Connor McDavid:

https://api.sportsgameodds.com/v2/events?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY&oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=NHL&oddIDs=shots_on_goal-CONNOR_MCDAVID_1_NHL-game-ou-over,shots_on_goal-CONNOR_MCDAVID_1_NHL-game-ou-under

OddIDs follow the format: {statID}-{playerID}-{periodID}-{betTypeID}-{sideID}.

Tips to keep your NHL queries fast and efficient:

  • Add bookmakerID=fanduel,draftkings to focus on the sportsbooks most relevant to your project
  • Use includeOpposingOdds=true so you only need to specify one side of a market and automatically receive both
  • Keep your oddIDs list focused and only request the markets you are actively using
  • Note: 1 object = 1 event regardless of how many markets are returned, so 10 NHL games = 10 objects
