NHL outright betting is a brilliant way to profit from the biggest ice hockey league in the world. You can bet on current champions Florida Panthers to secure another title this year, or you might fancy the Montreal Canadiens to turn things around and add another title to their 24 Stanley Cups.

Here, we explain how to enjoy NHL betting in the UK and introduce you to the best outright markets for ice hockey fans at talkSPORT BET.

Types of NHL Outright Bets

There are numerous ways to place outright bets on the National Hockey League at talkSPORT BET:

Betting on the Stanley Cup Winner

The most prominent outright betting market among NHL fans is the Stanley Cup winner. The Stanley Cup is the trophy awarded to the NHL playoff champions at the end of the regular season. The Montreal Canadiens are the most decorated Stanley Cup champions in history, with 24 titles. The Florida Panthers secured their first-ever Stanley Cup with their 2024 victory.

Sixteen teams qualify for the end-of-season playoffs, while the Stanley Cup Final is a best-of-seven series, making it one of the longest post-season championship games in American sports. You can place outright Stanley Cup wagers any time during the regular or post-season.

Conference and Division Winners

The NHL is split into two conferences, each with two divisions. The Eastern Conference comprises the Atlantic and Metropolitan divisions, while the Western Conference has the Central and Pacific divisions.

At talkSPORT BET, you can bet on the teams you think will win each conference and division rather than solely wagering on the team you think will be crowned Stanley Cup champions. Due to the format of the NHL, the best teams in each division don’t necessarily go on to become champions, which is one of the most alluring aspects of NHL outright betting.

Top Goalscorer

Rather than focusing your NHL outright betting strategy on teams, you can bet on the player you think will score the most goals during the season to win the coveted Maurice “Rocket” Richard trophy. Auston Matthews of Toronto ended the 2023/24 regular season as the leading goalscorer, and he won the trophy with an incredible 69 goals - the highest tally of this century.

This is a popular market with NHL fans, as you can follow a player's progress throughout the regular and post-season right until the final match.

Other Outright Markets

There are numerous individual awards in the NHL that you can bet on, including the Hart Trophy for MVP and the Vezina Trophy for best goaltender. You can also bet on team markets, such as the total number of points and whether a team will appear in this season’s playoffs.

Tips and Strategies for NHL Outright Betting

Are you ready for NHL outright betting at talkSPORT BET? Here are our top tips for placing winning hockey wagers this season:

Research and analysis: Researching a team’s past performance, roster, head-to-heads, and current form should all inform your NHL betting strategy. The more you know about each team you bet on, the more chance you have of winning your wager.
Timing your bets: Odds on the Stanley Cup favourites tend to shorten as the season progresses, so getting your bets in early can help you lock in great-value odds to potentially win more money.
Hedging your bets: There are 32 teams in the NHL, so narrowing it down to one winner of the Stanley Cup isn’t easy. Hedging your bets is a viable strategy and can help you decide on the best Stanley Cup winner odds for your selection.
Bankroll management: Responsible bankroll management is crucial to NHL betting in the UK. Use our safer gambling tips and tools to stay in control and never spend more than you can afford to lose on NHL wagers.

What is an outright bet in hockey?

An outright bet in hockey is a wager on a future event. Rather than focusing on a specific game week, an outright bet deals with the entire campaign, with every result throughout the season affecting the outcome of your wager.

When is the best time to place an outright bet on the Stanley Cup?

You can bet outright on the Stanley Cup until the end of the regular season. But given that the odds shorten as the season progresses, the earlier you back a team to qualify for or win the Stanley Cup, the better.

How do NHL outright odds change over the course of the season?

NHL outright odds change throughout the season depending on a team's performance. For instance, if the current holders, the Florida Panthers, start the new campaign with a 5-game winning streak, their odds will shorten, so it’s best to place your outright bets early.
