NHL Betting & Odds, Ice Hockey
The National Hockey League is the elite tournament of world ice hockey. The NHL keeps fans on the edge of their seats all season long—from the start of the campaign to the Stanley Cup Finals. Online betting on the NHL at Mbet with high odds lets you get even more excitement from watching the matches. Now’s the perfect time to take a closer look at all the features of betting on the world’s top ice hockey league.
Brand evolution: Marathonbet becomes Mbet
As part of the major platform update, we have rebranded: Marathonbet has become Mbet. The new name is shorter, simpler and more user-friendly, while keeping its connection to a brand people already trust.
Mbet has also launched an updated website and mobile app with a redesigned interface and improved navigation. The new design makes the platform easier to use and helps it run more smoothly. Our website is now faster, more intuitive and user-friendly, while the navigation makes it easier to find the events and markets you need. The interface is now more modern.
The changes are immediately apparent on the home page: it now features a new ‘Top’ section—a personalised feed with the latest promotions and sports events tailored specifically to your preferences. You no longer need to search the entire website for interesting matches: everything you need is gathered in one place.
NHL 2026/2027: betting highlights
The 2025/2026 season ended in triumph for the Carolina Hurricanes, who won the Stanley Cup for the second time in their history, beating the Vegas Golden Knights 4–2 in the final series. Now the league is preparing for its first 84-match season in 32 years. This could change a lot.
The 2026/27 regular season will start on 29th September 2026 and run until 10th April 2027. Each of the 32 teams will play two more games in the regular season than before, with a total of 1,344 matches being played. Increasing the number of matches for each team from 82 to 84 means the fixture list will be more congested. This will affect teams’ fatigue levels and, as a result, their performance. Players will have to cope with a more intense schedule, which increases the likelihood of injuries and unexpected results.
Those who bet on the NHL should keep a close eye on squad rotation and the physical condition of the players.
Ice hockey and NHL betting options
Mbet offers a wide range of markets for every NHL match. Here are the main types of bets available on the platform:
Match Winner
A classic bet on the winner of the match. You can bet on the result at the end of regular time, or the winner including overtime and shootouts.
Total Goals
Will the number of goals scored in normal time be over or under a set value?
Handicap
Handicap betting is a market that helps balance the chances between the favourite and the underdog.
Period Winner
A bet on which team will win the first, second, or third period.
Total Goals in a Period
The same as a regular total, but for a single period.
Stanley Cup Winner
A long-term bet on the season's champion.
Pre-match and live betting on the NHL
At Mbet, you can bet on sports and the NHL in different formats: before the match starts or during the game itself. In pre-match, you can take your time to study the teams’ form, the latest line-ups, and head-to-head record. Live NHL betting is a separate format, ideal for those watching the match in real time. It’s important to follow the match closely so you don’t miss any key moments.
Both betting formats are available on the Mbet website and in the mobile app.
How do NHL odds work?
NHL odds are set by the bookmaker’s analysts based on a wide range of factors, including the following key elements:
- current team form
- injuries to key players—the absence of the first-choice goaltender or the captain can significantly alter the balance of play
- head-to-head records
- motivation—whether the team is fighting for a place in the play-offs or the season is already over for them.
Take these factors into account to make more informed predictions for NHL matches.
