NHL Stats API — scores, standings, live & rosters (no key)

National Hockey League data straight from the official NHL Web API, behind a clean HTTP API (and MCP tool): live scores by date, current standings, the live game feed (with goal coordinates x,y), and team rosters. Covers before, during and after every game. Built for scoreboards, bots, analytics and agents. No API key. Pay per query.

• 🏒 Scores — all games for a date with live state, score, period and clock.
• 🏆 Standings — the current league table (W-L-OT, points, conference/division), filterable.
• 🔴 Live game — the game feed: score, hits/shots, and every goal with its on-ice (x,y) coordinates — real positional data.
• 👥 Roster — a team's current forwards, defensemen and goalies.
• ⛸️ Official data · no key.

Before, during & after the game

• Before: scores for the date (matchups, start times, state = FUT).
• During: scores (live score/period/clock) and game (goals as they happen, with coordinates).
• After: game (final) and standings (updated table).
