Hockey Odds API

Hockey markets move fast. Lines shift on goaltender confirmations, line combinations and late scratches, often in the hour before puck drop. Our hockey odds API is built for that pace, covering North American and European ice hockey through one endpoint with clean, structured JSON.

Hockey Odds API Features

One request returns a game's entire odds tree. There is no separate props endpoint, no per-bookmaker stitching, and no second integration needed to settle bets afterwards.

Available hockey betting markets include:

• Moneylines and regulation 3-way markets
• Puck lines (the 1.5-goal spread) and alternate lines
• Totals (over/under goals), team totals, and even/odd
• Both teams to score, full game and by period
• Skater props — goals, assists, points, shots on goal, hits, blocks, faceoffs won
• Goaltender props — saves and goals against
• Power play points and plus/minus
• First, second and third period markets

Market depth is greatest on the NHL, where the full skater and goaltender prop catalogue is posted nightly. The AHL, SHL and KHL reliably carry core markets — moneyline, puck line and total — with props where individual sportsbooks price them.

Quick Start: Every Hockey League in One Call

Querying at the sport level means you do not have to enumerate leagues. A single sportID=HOCKEY request returns events across the NHL, AHL, SHL and KHL together:

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

For a specific subset, leagueID accepts a comma-separated list:

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

Note that leagueID takes precedence — if you send both sportID and leagueID, the league filter is used and the sport filter is ignored. Use one or the other.

To narrow to a single market, add oddIDs. This returns shots on goal over/unders for every skater on the slate:

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

Common hockey oddID patterns:

• Shots on goal: shots_onGoal-PLAYER_ID-game-ou-over
• Points (goals + assists): points-PLAYER_ID-game-ou-over
• Goaltender saves: saves-PLAYER_ID-game-ou-over
• Period markets: use the 1p, 2p and 3p period codes

OddIDs follow the format {statID}-{statEntityID}-{periodID}-{betTypeID}-{sideID}. The full list is in the stats reference, and markets & coverage shows which books support what.

Hockey Leagues We Cover

• NHL — all 32 teams across the 82-game regular season, the Stanley Cup Playoffs and the Final, with the deepest prop catalogue of any hockey league.
• AHL — the American Hockey League, the NHL's primary development league.
• SHL — the Swedish Hockey League.
• KHL — the Kontinental Hockey League, the top competition in Russia and Eastern Europe.

The European leagues run on their own calendars, which is useful for keeping a product active outside the NHL schedule.

Hockey Player Props

Hockey props split between skaters and goaltenders. On the skater side: goals, assists, points (goals + assists), shots on goal, total shots, blocks, hits, faceoffs won, power play points, plus/minus and minutes played. On the goaltending side: saves and goals against. Plus first and last goalscorer markets, fantasy score, and first, second and third period variants where books post them.

Props come back in the same response as the game lines and are identified by a single field, so filtering to only props — or excluding them — is one check. See the hockey player prop odds API for the complete market list by sport.

Hockey Odds API with Results

Odds and results arrive in one unified response, so you can settle bets without adding a second data source. Each response includes:

• Live and upcoming hockey games across every covered league
• Home and away team data
• Player statistics and box scores
• Full odds coverage — puck lines, totals, moneylines, player props and alternate lines
• Final scores and settlement data

Line movement is tracked throughout. In hockey that matters more than in most sports: a confirmed starting goaltender can move a moneyline several cents in minutes.
