Moneylines, puck lines, totals, and player props for every NHL game, served from a platform of 30+ sportsbooks and sources - with sub-5-second freshness on the major books. The 2026-27 season opens September 29, and books are already posting opening-night lines and Stanley Cup futures. Same response shape as the-odds-api, so an existing integration migrates in one URL change. Free tier, no card required.
One sport key - icehockey_nhl - the same key the-odds-api
uses. Platform-wide figures below are measured across all 90+ sports we carry;
the NHL is served by the same pipeline.
Full-game h2h, puck line (spread), and total prices. Opening-night lines for September 29 are already flowing from FanDuel, with DraftKings and BetMGM writing NHL markets alongside. In season, the NHL rides the same pipeline that processes 100k+ game-line updates per hour platform-wide.

GET /v1/sports/icehockey_nhl/events
NHL player props on canonical market keys: player_goals,
player_points, player_assists and more. Measured
in the last 24 hours, six sources - DraftKings, Bovada, Pinnacle, FanDuel
and BetMGM among them - wrote 21,000+ NHL prop rows across 30 distinct
market keys, including season goal totals and team point totals.
GET /v1/sports/icehockey_nhl/props
REST polling on every tier with sub-5-second freshness on major books. Business tier and above adds WebSocket streaming, so line moves are pushed to you instead of burning credits on polls. See /pricing for which tiers include streaming.

34,000+ NHL closing game lines back to 2007, inside a platform archive of 1.7M+ closing game lines with continuous coverage from 2005 and 30M+ prop closing lines since June 2022 - the raw material for CLV tracking and backtesting NHL models.

The NHL is between seasons, so today's board (measured 2026-08) is opening-night game lines, 2026-27 Stanley Cup and conference futures from Pinnacle, and early season player markets - thinner than mid-season NHL depth, and it ramps sharply toward September 29. If you need full per-book NHL depth today, verify it yourself on the live NHL coverage page before you subscribe - it reads from live ingest.
Claims are cheap. These pages read from the same live API you'd be buying, so you can verify NHL coverage yourself, right now, without an account.

ParlayAPI mirrors the-odds-api's v4 REST shape for NHL data: same
icehockey_nhl sport key, same paths, same query parameters,
same response JSON. Swap the base URL and your existing code keeps working.

# before curl "https://api.the-odds-api.com/v4/sports/icehockey_nhl/odds?regions=us&markets=h2h,spreads,totals&apiKey=YOUR_TOA_KEY" # after curl "https://parlay-api.com/v4/sports/icehockey_nhl/odds?regions=us&markets=h2h,spreads,totals&apiKey=YOUR_PARLAY_KEY"
the-odds-api is older, simpler, and more battle-tested, with a much larger base of tutorials, Stack Overflow answers, and community wrappers to copy from. If your NHL needs are basic - one region, game lines only, no streaming - its smaller surface area is a genuine advantage. Our honest roundup of the-odds-api alternatives compares seven providers side by side, us included.
Endpoint shapes below are the real ones from the API docs.
Auth is either the-odds-api-style apiKey= query param or an
X-API-Key header.

Yes. ParlayAPI's free tier includes 1,000 credits per month with no credit
card required, and it covers NHL game lines the same as paid plans. One call to
/v1/sports/icehockey_nhl/odds returns moneyline, puck line,
and total prices. Current paid tiers are listed at /pricing.
Yes. GET /v1/sports/icehockey_nhl/props returns NHL player
props - goals, points, assists and more - on canonical market keys
(player_goals, player_points,
player_assists). Measured in the last 24 hours (2026-08,
pre-season), six sources wrote 21,000+ NHL prop rows across 30 distinct
market keys, including season goal totals and 2026-27 Stanley Cup futures.
Depth increases sharply once the season opens September 29.
Yes. The archive holds 34,000+ NHL closing game lines back to 2007, inside
a platform archive of 1.7M+ closing game lines with continuous coverage back
to 2005, plus 30M+ prop closing lines since June 2022. Query
/v1/historical/sports/icehockey_nhl/odds for snapshots or
/v1/historical/sports/icehockey_nhl/closing-odds for closing
lines - useful for CLV tracking and model backtests.
Yes - ParlayAPI mirrors the-odds-api's v4 REST shape: the same
icehockey_nhl sport key, the same endpoint paths, the same
query parameters, and the same JSON response shape. Migrating an existing
integration is a base-URL change from api.the-odds-api.com/v4 to
parlay-api.com/v4 - see the
migration guide. To be fair,
the-odds-api is older and simpler with a larger base of tutorials; if you
don't need props depth, streaming, or prediction-market signals, it remains a
solid choice.
Yes. Books are already posting 2026-27 NHL markets: opening-night game
lines from FanDuel, Stanley Cup and conference futures from Pinnacle, and
season player goal markets from DraftKings - all measured in the last 24
hours (2026-08). Pre-season depth is thinner than mid-season depth and ramps
toward September 29. In season, REST polling has sub-5-second freshness on
major books, and Business tier and above adds WebSocket streaming at
/ws/odds/icehockey_nhl. You can watch the live board at
/live before signing up.
The 2026-27 NHL season opens September 29. Sign up free - 1,000 credits a month, no card required - and have NHL lines flowing before opening night.
