Puck luck? Hockey’s secrecy makes betting on NHL a gamble

The NHL has partnerships with several sportsbooks in the U.S. But the sport that prides itself on secrecy won’t be giving up details about starting lineups any time soon. Betting operators would love to know who’s playing, including who is starting in goal. But that information is still going to be disclosed only a few minutes before games begin. Most bettors recognize the mystery is just part of putting money on hockey.
