DraftKings NHL Lamp Lighter Boost: 20% OT Profit Boost

With the Stanley Cup playoffs moving into the second round, DraftKings Sportsbook has unveiled a new limited-time promotion built for one of hockey’s most dramatic moments - overtime. Perfectly timed for the kind of playoff intensity that so often spills beyond regulation, the new “NHL Lamp Lighter Boost” gives bettors a chance to increase their returns on overtime goal scorer wagers when games head into sudden death.

What Is the NHL Lamp Lighter Boost?

The NHL Lamp Lighter Boost offers players a 20% profit boost on live wagers placed in the “Overtime Goalscorer” market during Round 2 of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

The twist is that the boost only becomes available once a game officially reaches overtime. That means the promo is designed for the exact moment when playoff hockey becomes most intense - when every shot could end the game.

For live-betting players, it creates an extra edge right when the pressure is at its highest.

How the Promotion Works

After opting in, players receive a boost token that activates the offer.

Once a Round 2 playoff game is tied at the end of regulation and heads to overtime, that token becomes available for use on a qualifying live bet in the overtime goalscorer market.

After your wager settles, a new token automatically reloads for the next eligible game that reaches overtime during the promotional period.

Only one active token can be available at a time.

That makes the offer especially appealing for bettors who enjoy following the action live and reacting to momentum swings in decisive playoff moments.

How It Works - Step by Step

  1. Opt in to the promotion
    You’ll need to activate the offer through the DraftKings promotions page.
  2. Wait for a Round 2 playoff game to reach overtime
    The token only becomes available once the game is tied after regulation.
  3. Place a live bet on an overtime goal scorer
    The boost applies only to wagers in the Overtime Goalscorer market.
  4. Activate the 20% profit boost in your bet slip
    Make sure the token is applied before placing the wager.
  5. Receive a new token after your bet settles
    If another eligible game goes to overtime, the process repeats.

Important Rules to Keep in Mind

There are a few important restrictions attached to the promotion.

The 20% boost applies only to net winnings, not the full stake. Players must manually activate the token in the bet slip before placing the wager.

The promotion is valid only for Round 2 Stanley Cup playoff games that go to overtime.

It does not apply to:

  • Pre-game wagers
  • Parlays or Same Game Parlays
  • Cash-out wagers
  • Odds boosts or other bonus-based bets

Wagers must be placed using cash or DK Dollars. Bonus bets do not qualify.

Maximum stake limits may also apply.

The NHL Lamp Lighter Boost runs from May 4, 2026 through May 18, 2026, which covers the full second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Tokens are issued only for games that go to overtime during this window.
