About the competition

Ice hockey's regular season runs from October to April. Hockey scores are low enough to call exactly, so NHL pools use exact-score scoring. The final score counts, including overtime and shootouts.

32 teams, 1344 games in the fixture list so far.

How scoring works

You call the exact score. The exact score earns the most points (2 by default) and the right result (win, draw or loss) earns some (1 by default). The pool organiser can change both. The final score counts, including overtime and shootouts.

Picks lock at kick-off on our server, so nobody can change a pick after the game starts or copy someone else's. Results arrive from the official fixture feed, usually within about 15 minutes of full time, and the table updates on its own.

What else is in a pool

Hidden picks: everyone's predictions are revealed only when each game kicks off.
Reminders: an optional nudge before kick-off for games you have not called yet.
Rivals: pick a rival on the table and track your head-to-head all season.
Awards and share cards: matchday awards, a trophy cabinet and a result card to post in the group chat.
Pots, tracked not taken: the organiser can note an entry fee and who has paid. No money goes through Spot On.
