NHL betting available at 1xBet for all fans
NHL runs a 32-team regular season before the playoffs begin. The 2026–27 season started on September 29, 2026 and runs until June 20, 2027. Carolina Hurricanes holds the title after winning it in 2026, though Montreal Canadiens owns the record with 25 titles. You can bet on NHL odds at 1xBet across the full slate of games and markets.
The premier ice hockey league with 32 teams
While the league stage sets the pace, the playoffs decide the NHL champion. You follow 32 teams through the regular season to see who qualifies, yet points alone do not settle the title. Such distinction matters for the outright market you are watching.
Some newer members have already broken through to win once, including the Vegas Golden Knights. You will see how these past performances frame your pre-match analysis for NHL 2026–27. The breakdown of every club by total trophies won sits below this section.

About the NHL competition format and season
The regular season builds the picture for the playoffs. The title is decided exclusively by a post-season tournament at the end of the year. Play in the 2026–27 season began on September 29, 2026 and is set to finish on June 20, 2027.
That format drives how you approach your wagering slip. You can take the money line outcome including overtime and a possible shootout for a clear winner. A separate three-way option settles only on the result after regulation, meaning a draw is a valid pick here. Handicaps via the puck line level the field when one side looks heavy to win. Totals markets let you stake on whether the combined score hits or misses a specific number of goals.
Period betting breaks the action into smaller segments for more granular control. Accumulators combine these selections into a single ticket with multiplied returns if all legs land. Outright markets sit further out, pricing up who will eventually lift the Stanley Cup. All this context sets the stage for the key stats below.

Title holder | Carolina Hurricanes |
Past champions and the current title holder
The Carolina Hurricanes hold the title: they took the crown in the 2026 campaign to become the current standard-bearer for NHL betting. Recent winners reveal a wide spread across franchises, from Florida and Vegas to Colorado.
History runs deep here, and a total of 100 seasons exist on file, with the first recorded final dating back to 1927. You will see older clubs like Detroit and Toronto mixed in alongside modern powerhouses throughout the timeline.
The playoffs decide the champion, meaning the regular season points table only gets you to the gate. Below you will find a snapshot of those recent champions and their runner-ups in reverse chronological order.

Markets and odds for NHL on 1xBet
Such distinction changes how you read a close match on paper versus one that has already gone the distance. Money line includes the shootout outcome: you are backing the side that ultimately wins the contest once all periods and penalties finish, which removes the draw from your options entirely. Puck line acts as a handicap when one team is clearly favored over another in regulation play. Total goals ask for more or fewer scores than a set threshold across the full game duration. Period betting narrows your view to a single twenty-minute stretch instead of the whole affair.
Outrights price up long before playoffs begin. These markets cover who lifts the championship trophy after the postseason concludes, rather than the team sitting atop the table in spring. Accumulators let you stack singles from different games or periods into one wager for higher returns. You can find all these NHL odds structures available pre-match and as action shifts during live play. Cash-out remains an option to lock value before the final whistle if a game turns against your stake.
Match markets
Match result splits into two distinct paths depending on how you settle a game. The three-way market covers regulation time, so a draw after minutes stands as a final outcome without overtime. You get the money line for those who want the definitive winner, including any shootout or extra periods required to decide it. Both options feed directly into accumulators that stack multiple NHL wagers together.
Money line forces a winner through overtime or a shootout
Puck line offers a handicap on the final score
Total goals asks if scoring lands over or under the set figure
Outright and specials
The outright is the core question, and you bet on which franchise lifts the trophy after the playoffs conclude. Specials let you stake on specific milestones or individual awards that fall outside the main match result.
