Updated Stanley Cup Title Odds

Favorites

Colorado Avalanche +375

Tampa Bay Lightning +750

Vegas Golden Knights +750

Toronto Maple Leafs +800

Carolina Hurricanes +900

At 31-10-4, the Avalanche are becoming even bigger favorites to win their first Stanley Cup since 2001. Meanwhile, the defending champion Lightning are close behind despite being in third place in the Central Division. 

The Golden Knights are an intriguing option, as they look better than ever. With wins in nine of their last 10 games, Vegas has a league-high 70 points, sporting a 34-11-2 record.

Contenders

Boston Bruins +1100

Washington Capitals +1300

Pittsburgh Penguins +1400

New York Islanders +1600

Florida Panthers +1800

Minnesota Wild +1900

All four of the current playoff teams in the East Division are bunched together in this group. However, despite being in fourth place, it’s the Bruins who have the highest odds to win Lord Stanley’s Cup. Regardless, all four teams are separated by six points, so expect all of their odds to remain close to each other.

One interesting team is the Panthers, who are just a point out of first place. Florida is having arguably their best season in franchise history but remains just 10th in current odds to win the Cup.

Mid-Tier

Edmonton Oilers +2100

Winnipeg Jets +2100

Montreal Canadiens +2200

Dallas Stars +3500

St. Louis Blues +3500

Nashville Predators +4000

With the two leading point-producers in hockey, the Oilers offer some intriguing value at +2100. However, they appear destined for a first-round matchup with the Jets, so one of those teams is guaranteed to get bounced out of the postseason early.

The Blues are an intriguing team. In an up-and-down season, St. Louis has a lot more healthy bodies than they did earlier this season and is just two years removed from a Stanley Cup championship. Have more experience than a lot of other teams destined to make the postseason.

Longshots

Arizona Coyotes +6500

Calgary Flames +7500

New York Rangers +8500

Chicago Blackhawks +9000

Los Angeles Kings +10000

Vancouver Canucks +10000

The Coyotes are the only one in this group currently sitting in playoff position, but their grip over the Blues is loosening with three more games in hand and just a one-point advantage. 

The Canucks are the ultimate wild card of this bunch. Back from a long pause due to COVID, Vancouver is behind the Canadiens by eight points but has also played five fewer games. They have already won three of their first four games since returning to action.

See You Next Season

San Jose Sharks +17500

Philadelphia Flyers +35000

Anaheim Ducks +400000

Ottawa Senators +500000

The Sharks are the only one in this group that has any sort of chance to make the playoffs still. However, with one victory in their last 10 games, they have to be nearly perfect to catch Arizona and St. Louis for fourth place in the West.

Eliminated

Columbus Blue Jackets

New Jersey Devils

Buffalo Sabres

They held on as long as they could, but an eight-game losing streak has officially ended the Blue Jackets’ hopes of making the playoffs. They join the Devils and Sabres as the teams who are just playing for pride for the remainder of the season.
