The National Hockey League marks the top tier of ice hockey in both the United States and Canada. Since the beginning of the league in 1917, the competition has grown in popularity, attracting fans and players from all around the world.

Today, some of the greatest hockey players strive to make a move to the United States and Canada to pursue their goals within the sport.

Across the season, 32 teams will compete against one another to achieve the top spots and make the NHL playoffs. Due to teams coming from both the United States and Canada, the teams have been split into two different conferences (Western and Eastern) to make it easier for them to play based on their geography.

Within each conference, you will find that the sixteen teams have been grouped into their own divisions. This means that teams will mainly compete against competitors within their own division, but they will also play against others.

By the end of the season, teams are aiming to make the NHL playoffs, which would see them go head-to-head in knockout games, with the aim of making the finals to determine the champion.

Whether you're looking at the individual games throughout the season or the knockout games in the playoffs, you can browse the NHL Ice Hockey betting odds associated with each.
