Very often with NHL preseason odds you may be able to spot some nice plays because NHL odds makers are not nearly as concerned with hockey because it is not a high volume sport.

Keep in mind that NHL odds are similar to other sports like baseball, football or basketball in terms of the preseason. Star players and veterans don’t always play very many minutes and backups and young players get a lot of time during the preseason games. That is why information is important as you look at NHL odds.
