In ice hockey, the puck line is a type of point spread bet where a team is assigned a goal handicap. If a team is listed with a puck line of -1.5, it means they are a 1.5-goal favorite and would need to win by two or more goals to cover the puck line. If a team is listed with a puck line of +1.5, it means they are a 1.5-goal underdog and would need to either win outright or not lose by more than a goal to cover the puck line.
