Definition of Power Play Points O/U



"Power Play Points O/U" refers to an over/under prop bet offered on whether a specific NHL player will record at least one power play point in a given game. A power play point includes either a goal or an assist recorded while the player's team is on the power play.

Sportsbooks typically set the line at 0.5, meaning the bet is binary - either the player records a power play point (Over), or they don't (Under).

The works of the Power Play Points Over / Under bet are explained.For example, Connor McDavid might have his Power Play Points O/U set at 0.5, with the Over paying 2.10 and the Under at 1.71. A bettor taking the Over would need McDavid to either score or assist on a power play goal during the game to cash the ticket.

Another example: Sam Bennett's O/U might also be 0.5, but the Over pays 4.75 while the Under is just 1.16 - indicating the sportsbook expects him not to register a power play point.

This market is popular with NHL prop bettors who follow line combinations, power play unit usage, and special teams performance trends. It's also heavily influenced by ice time and role within the team's man-advantage setup.

Simply put - this is a yes-or-no market based on power play production. Nothing more, nothing less.
