We took a look at the 2021 Stanley Cup favorites on Tuesday, so let’s dive a little deeper into some more NHL odds, courtesy of our friends at PointsBet.

The division favorites are who you’d expect for the most part. The East will be a battle; the West is quite top heavy; the Central is Tampa and everyone else; while the all-Canadian North could be wide open.

Come discuss NHL Betting before you place your bets. Our very active sports betting forum is full of different points of view. If you adjust the current line for home-ice advantage (4.9% in the NHL), the odds would basically flip — making the Bruins a -120 favorite on neutral ice. I think that number should be closer to -110 or -112, so I think the Lightning have some value in a buy-low spot on Tuesday night. Kansas lawmakers have reopened the sports betting discussion with two new sports betting bills. January 27th saw Senate Bill 84 introduced followed by House Bill 2199 on February 2nd. Both bills propose that the state lottery is expanded to oversee sports betting in Kansas.

On to four of the major NHL Awards now. Reigning league MVP Leon Draisaitl is +750 and faces a tall task in repeating in 2021. This race have its handful of favorites, but it’s quite wide open. If Elias Pettersson (+2000) ends up leading the Canucks back to the postseason with a 70-80-point season, would it be wild to see him winning the Hart?

The No. 1 overall pick gets top billing a lot, but the 2021 rookie class has some depth. Outside of Alexis Lafreniere (+275) in New York, he’ll battle his goaltender for the Calder, along with Kirill Kaprizov (+400), who has finally arrived in Minnesota. What about Lafreniere’s draft class mates Quinton Byfield (+800) and Tim Stutzle (+1100)? Depending on usage and how much time he gets in the NHL compared to the AHL this season, don’t overlook Bowen Byram (+2500) in Colorado.

Alexis Lafreniere (+275)
Igor Shesterkin (+300)

The ice hockey season has just got underway, which means that there will be a huge number of fans from around North America and the rest of the world trying to find free hockey streams to watch the games. This season’s NHL is one of the most unique in history, as all Canadian sides will be playing in the same division during the regular season.

It will also be condensed season, which means that fans may be less tempted to pay the huge subscription prices that are expected for sports packages.

However, could Reddit be the best site to find hockey live streams for the NHL games this season? And, which channels should fans be looking to find?

If you’re looking for a NHL Network stream, Reddit is not the best place to find it. See our comprehensive guide for how to stream hockey games from the NHL Network online if that’s what you’re looking for.

Reddit NHL Stream Suggestions

Football Betting Reddit

Each team in the NHL will play 56 games this season, with the regular season coming to a close in May. Reddit has long been one of the most popular options available to sports streamers, and that is certainly the case when it comes to NHL games Reddit users can discuss. There are numerous channels available on Reddit that offer excellent streaming options for fans.

The majority of streamers that use Reddit to watch the NHL will use one trusted channel that has consistently offered high-quality video. This will save time on matchday, as the streamer will not need to search on Reddit to find a stream that offers the best experience.

The most viewed and active ‘Subreddits’ today for NHL live stream Reddit viewers are:

Fans typically use Reddit for more reasons than just watching the action, as there are also dedicated team pages. This is an excellent chance to share your thoughts about the team’s performances, and what their aim for the season ahead should be.

The discussions on these pages are typically passionate ones, as members tend to be derived by the most dedicated fans of the teams.

Here are some of the fan channels that you can get involved in on Reddit:

Why Should I Choose Reddit Streams?

North American sports fans have been using Reddit channels to watch sports action since the site hit the web. The main reason for its success is due to the simplicity of Reddit.

Nfl Betting Reddit

To start exploring the channels available, you will simply just need to sign up for an account. As soon as that is done, you can begin looking for the best NHL Reddit streams. It is undeniable that the social aspect that comes with Reddit is also a reason why it is popular for sports fans, as the debate is what makes the NHL one of the most-watched sports in the world.

While there are many positives that come with watching Reddit streams, some negatives must also be taken into account. The most important thing to consider is that Reddit streams do not always link to legally-hosted sources, so be careful to avoid NHL hockey streams from an unlicensed source, as broadcasters pay millions to show exclusive NHL coverage throughout the season.

It is also important to understand that the experience you get from watching these streams simply isn’t as good as the experience you can get with official, paid subscriptions. Live video on Reddit often lags, and the buffering could mean that you miss important periods of the match.

Paid NHL Subscriptions

As we mentioned, the best way to get the ultimate experience of watching the NHL throughout the season is by paying for one of the subscription packages.

There are two options available to customers looking at this option. The first of which allows customers to pay for an all-access pass annually. This will cost $99.99 for the season. It is a more affordable option for fans looking to watch games throughout the season, as the monthly pass costs $24.99. Either way, it is the best way to watch the NHL in 2020-21.
