NHL Starting Lineups & Probable Goalies For Tonight

Q: Are NHL teams required to list injuries?

NHL teams are notoriously last-minute and vague about certain injuries, often in an attempt to keep their opponents guessing. Only players being placed on the Injured Reserve are officially listed and tracked. A player placed on the IR must miss at least seven days from the date of the injury.

Q: What is an NHL depth chart?

An NHL depth chart is a view of how deep an NHL team is at each given position on the ice. This will show you each player on the team’s roster, ranked by their perceived ability on the ice. Sometimes, a depth chart will show non-roster players such as prospects and unsigned draft picks.

Q: What is a powerplay in NHL?

A powerplay occurs when a team has a numerical advantage on the ice, due to a penalty or penalties being incurred by the opposition team. The most common powerplay in the NHL is a 5-on-4, but 5-on-3 and 4-on-3 are also frequent occurrences. This numerical advantage often translates into scoring chances and goals.

Q: How many players are on an NHL roster?

An NHL roster comprises of at least 20 players, from the opening day of the season until the trade deadline. After the trade deadline, the upper limit of 23 rostered players is removed, and no upper limit is enforced for the remainder of the season. A minimum of 18 skaters and 2 goaltenders must be rostered at all times.

Q: How long is the NHL injured reserve?

A player who is added to the NHL Injured Reserve must miss at least seven consecutive days of action, from the time that the injury was suffered. The Long-Term Injured Reserve (or LTIR) requires a player to miss a minimum of 10 NHL games and 24 days.

Q: Who has the most injuries in the NHL?

Finding out the injury news on each team in the league can give you an advantage when visiting NHL betting sites . So keep abreast of the teams with the most injuries leading up to games to give yourself the best chance of winning a wager.

Q: Can you change lines during an NHL game?

Line changes during an NHL game are a common occurrence. Some coaches like to mix things up more than others. If a player is underperforming significantly, it is not uncommon for them to be “benched” for an extended period of time.

Q: How many players in an NHL starting lineup?

An NHL starting lineup will generally have 18 skaters and 2 goaltenders. One of the goaltenders is designated as the backup and will usually spend the full game on the bench, unless required as a replacement. The 18 skaters are usually split into 12 forwards and 6 defensemen, in 4 forward lines and 3 defensive pairings.

Q: When do NHL starting lineups get submitted?

In most cases, NHL starting lineups are known well in advance of game time. However, where a player is a game-time decision, changes can be made right up until the scheduled start time of a game. This can make betting and fantasy decisions quite difficult when working to a deadline!

NHL Daily Lineups

By having the very latest NHL lineup information to hand, you will be able to understand which players have found themselves on the NHL injury list, which players are suspended, and which are returning to their team's lineup.

The data on this page is provided by Rotowire's premium service to ensure that your information is as fast and as reliable as any NHL daily starting lineup information. Having access to today's NHL starting lineups can give a bettor the edge when what wagers to make on their preferred sportsbook, particularly in crunch time like during the Stanley Cup Playoffs. So, check out our lineups before visiting any NHL betting sites.

NHL Starting Goalies

Getting the earliest possible information about starting goaltenders can assist taking a look at any sports betting sites. Quite often, the morning skate or afternoon interviews with each head coach will reveal which goalie is expected to start, but some teams hold this information quite close to their chest. In those cases, the NHL starting lineups won't be known until much closer to puck drop.

Where an NHL team has back-to-back games, you can assume with a good degree of certainty that the same goalie will not start both games. This is where the NHL projected lineups can be invaluable sources of information and aid your stops at any sports betting apps.

NHL Powerplay Lines

Knowing which players in an NHL lineup are most likely to benefit from powerplay time can be key to certain player prop markets. In particular, it can be beneficial to spot players who have recently moved up to the top powerplay unit, as this will improve their point-scoring or goal opportunities almost instantly and thus give you an edge at the best NHL betting sites.

NHL Line Combinations

By playing on the top line or first pairing of an NHL lineup, an NHL player is almost guaranteed to see more ice time than skaters on other lines. Extra ice time is likely to lead to more scoring opportunities, thus making them a more viable opportunity at online sports betting sites. You should always check today's NHL starting lineups and practice lines, so you can be rest assured that you have the most up-to-date information.

NHL Injury Reports

NHL injury news can come from a variety of sources. We only collate the most reliable sources here to guarantee that you will have the most accurate and recent injury news at all times, ensuring that don't have to wait for the official NHL injury reports. Any injury news will affect moneylines and puck lines, so if you’re looking to use any free bets on NHL games, keep an eye on the injury reports.

NHL Lineup Optimizer

The lineup data on this page is also invaluable for fantasy hockey players. Making the right call on a game-time decision for a defenseman or checking any opposing team information can mean the difference between winning or losing your weekly matchup. As more and more fantasy players move towards NHL Daily Fantasy, NHL sports betting sites like DraftKings and FanDuel become even more busier with contests each day. With everything to play for on the day, you need to make sure that your lineup is tweaked for success.

NHL Prop Bets

When it comes to NHL prop betting, having the latest lineup information is extremely useful. Knowing which goalies are expected or confirmed to start can be the difference between a good value bet and a bad bet. On this page, you'll find the most informed NHL projected lineups to assist you with bets on the most common prop betting sites, such as bet365, BetMGM, Caesars and DraftKings.

NHL Daily Fantasy Sports

The popularity of NHL Daily Fantasy has exploded over the past few years, as a perfect go-between for traditional fantasy hockey and sports betting.
