NHL Stanley Cup Odds: Favorites Winners and Dark Horses to Consider | MyBookie NHL Preview of the Teams Fighting for the Title

2024 NHL Season | 107th season of the National Hockey League
2024 Stanley Cup Finals: April 20 – TBD

Favorites:

Carolina Hurricanes +400

Carolina is 4/1 odds to win it all. They are the favorites of all the teams in the National Hockey League. This is a great, balanced team that can win games with their scoring, or shutting teams down.

Florida Panthers +500

The Panthers were unable to finish the sweep of their state rivals Tampa Bay, but they are still in great shape. Florida is 5/1 odds, just behind the Hurricanes, but ahead of the Rangers and Bruins in the Eastern Conference. Florida did not have it in the loss, falling behind 3-0 after one period. Florida is another team looking to close it out on home ice. They will host the Lightning on Monday,

Winners:

Edmonton Oilers +600

Nothing is ever easy when you are the Edmonton Oilers. That means this first round series against the Los Angeles Kings is not going to come easy. The Oilers are actually the odds on favorites to win the West. Edmonton started terrible and have been great for much of the season. The offense for Edmonton is better than any other team in the league. Game 5 of the best of 7 series between the Oilers and Kings will take place on Wednesday, as they go back to Canada.

New York Rangers +700

The Rangers made quick and easy work of the Washington Capitals. The Rangers are none too thrilled with being the best team in the National Hockey League during the regular season, yet having the fourth best odds in the NHL to win the cup. Yet, here we are. New York has been really good on the defensive side of the puck; allowing just five goals in the first three games of the series. The Rangers are using the Madison Square postseason crowd to their favor. It will be even more of a madhouse now that May is rolling in.

Dark Horses:

Colorado Avalanche +750

In the first four games of the series, Colorado scored 21 total goals. This is an awesome offense that really can light the lamp. Colorado is just a season removed from winning the Stanley Cup. It is not a good idea to count them out. Their lead on the Jets at 3-1 in the series is not safe, but a great start. It will be interesting to see if they can stay healthy through the postseason run. If they do, they are more than a dark horse, they are a true cup contender.

Vegas Golden Knights +900

We are finding out that the 2023-2024 version of the Vegas Golden Knights are not quite ready to give up the claim of being the defending Stanley Cup Champions. After a lackluster regular season, Vegas winning both the first two games on the road was not all that surprising to them, but is putting the rest of the league on notice. The overtime loss on Saturday made the series 2-1, but a win on Monday would put them a win away from the second round. The Golden Knights will start the new week at 9/1 odds to win the Cup.

Boston Bruins +900

Boston moved a game away from knocking off Toronto in the first round series. The Bruins have been solid all season defensively. They will need to continue that to eliminate a good offensive team in Toronto. The Bruins are also 9/1 odds to win the Stanley Cup.
