The Over or Under is given as well for the total, and don’t be surprised to see the word ‘Push’ which is a synonym for tie in the sports betting industry. After the game is completed, the winning team is highlighted with a “Red Check” plus they also receive a “Cover” label in the ATS column. The ATS column could easily be the most important featured on the NHL Scoreboard and it’s clearly for bettors looking for Against the Spread result. Make a note that goals scored in the shootout only add ‘one’ goal to your total outcome. Bettors can go ‘high’ or ‘low’ for this matchup and cheer for both offensive or defensive units. The O/U is abbreviated for the Over-Under or Total, which is a wager that accounts for all goals scored in the game. The NHL shows their line in Money-Line format which means you just have to pick the winner of the game. When placing a wager at a sportsbook, you’re betting on that number which is associated with the team. Next to each team, you’ll see a number which is called the Rotation. If the score remains tied, a ‘sudden death’ format will follow until a winner is declared. Each team is given three penalty shots to score on their opponent and whoever has more goals is deemed the winner. If the game is still tied after the overtime period, the NHL Scoreboard will go to the fifth (5) period or the Shootout.

The fourth period (4) is known as Overtime, which is a 5-minute period and the first team to score becomes the winner.

When you viewing the NHL scoreboard, you’ll sometimes see a 4 or 5 listed next to the third period. In order to prevent ties, the league has created not one but two options to create a winner and a loser. Similar to other professional sports, the NHL doesn’t have ties anymore so you won’t see stalemates on the NHL Scoreboard anymore. An NHL ice hockey game consists of 60 minutes, divided equally by 20 minutes and they’re labeled first (1), second (2) and third (3). The NHL Scoreboard is shown in periods three to be exact. The major professional and college sports in the United States break up their games into quarters and halves while pro hockey is in a world all by itself.
