Why NHL Daily Lineups are Important for Sports Betting

Knowing the NHL daily lineups are important for bettors because you need to know who is out due to injury, which goalies are starting, and which line each player is on.

This allows you to make informed decisions as a bettor. For example, if a team is playing their backup goalie in the second game of a back-to-back, it can have a huge impact on both the Moneyline and Over/Under odds from top sportsbooks.

NHL Daily Lineup FAQs

What is an NHL Daily Lineup?

An NHL daily lineup is the list of players that will be active for the game, broken down by the lines and defensive pairing set by the coach. 

Each team typically plays with 12 forwards broken down into four lines of three players. Then, there are six defensemen that play in pairs and the starting goalie. 

How Often Do NHL Lineups Change?

NHL lineups can change on a daily basis, as coaches make adjustments to the lines and defensive pairings. While most lines can stay the same for weeks at a time, injuries and performance can lead to tweaks at any time.

How Often Do NHL Starting Goalies Change?

With load management becoming more common in the NHL, backup goalies are seeing more playing time than ever. The average NHL backup goalie plays between 15 and 25 games in a season.

Factors like playing on a back-to-back or going against a bad team can impact which starting goalie is chosen by the coach to play a game.
