A '''Canadian line''' is a betting [[spread]] for hockey. Because hockey is a lower scoring sport than football or basketball the spreads are significantly smaller. The standard Canadian line for an NHL match is set at 1.5. The [[favorite]] will have a spread of -1.5, which requires them to win by more than one goal. The [[underdog]] will have a spread of +1.5 which requires either an outright victory or a loss by exactly 1 goal to be graded a win.
The Canadian line betting market is more commonly referred to as [[puck line]].
