Quick NHL question

No ties anymore. NHL games go to a shootout now to break a tie.

Yes, I'm aware of that. It is however possible to bet on a draw (which I did in the MTL-TOR game BTW), so I'd like to know roughly how probable a draw is in a random NHL game.

Last season approx. 23% of games were tied after 60 minutes.

But I'm sure (although I haven't looked it up) the probablility of a tie varies based on Total and ML, so that should be looked into as well.

Thanks! Do you have any idea about home/away wins after 60 minutes?

The probability certainly varies a bit depending on the matchup, but it's always useful to have knowledge of the general probabilities.

Nope, don't have any info on home/away.
