What do these numbers mean?

Bookmakers give the weaker team a head start called the puck line. A team covers when it wins by more than the puck line, or loses by less than its head start. A push is a tie with the line, so bets were refunded. The total is the bookmakers' line for points in the game; over means the game finished above it. We count the main closing line just before the start, complete seasons only, plus this season so far.
