I have big problem with undestanding some data which concern NHL
teams. Can anyone explain to me clearly what exactly should I read data
like:
New Jersey Devils:
W/L : 47-24-2-2
ATS : 40-35
So far, I thought that W/L means: W/L in regulation time and 2-2
win and loss in overtime/shootout, but I have already checked past
results of NJD and I see that this team had finished games 17 times in
overtime this season. So what exactly this 47-24-2-2 means?
Next thing - ATS, in NBA it is very simple (against handicap), but how should I understand ATS for NHL games/teams?

The 2 and 2 stands for 2 overtime losses and 2 shoot out losses. For overtime wins it is just counted as a win, so far this season in extra time they have won 13 of their 17 chances.
Against the spread for hockey is the same as in basketball. For the most part it is usually a line of 1.5, however most people who wager on hockey usually play the moneyline.
