NHL Playoffs and Updated Bold Betting Predictions for the 2023

Eastern Conference

Tampa Bay upsets the Boston Bruins in the second round

The Lightning face the Boston Bruins in the first round. The Bruins have dominated all season, which is why they’re an underlay at +300.

A few seasons ago, Tampa Bay dominated the regular season and then lost in the fist round as a +250 choice to win the title.

The same is going to happen to the Bruins this season. Steve Stamkos, Brayden Point, Alex Killorn, and Nikita Kucherov still play in Tampa. Alexander Vasilevskiy continues to put on the pads and heads to the goal. TB wins the series.

The New York Rangers beat the Carolina Hurricanes in the second round

It was easy to love the Hurricanes to win the Eastern Conference until a possible second round series matchup against the New York Rangers developed.

The Rangers could be the better team. They’re definitely better on the left wing where Chris Kreider and Artemi Panarin play. Carolina has a single left winger on their roster. NYR will expose that flaw and win the second round series.

NYR beats Tampa Bay to stamp their ticket to the Stanley Cup

The New York Rangers will use their youth and enthusiasm to get by the Lightning’s experience. The series will go six. Tampa, though, will show their old legs in the final two games.

The New York Rangers return to the Stanley Cup.

Western Conference

The Seattle Kraken knock out top seed Dallas in the first round

Upstart Seattle doesn’t boast Stanley Cup winning players. It feels like Dallas doesn’t either. So if this happens, the two teams will fight for supremacy.

Dallas could be at a disadvantage after battling so hard for the top seed. The Kraken get it done.

The Kings upset the Oilers in the first round and the Golden Knights in the second

Edmonton is a favorite to beat the Kings. Vegas will be a favorite to beat the Kings as well. Neither will succeed.

Los Angeles has the perfect mix of veterans and youth. The Kings return to their past glory by making it all the way to the Western Conference Finals.

Colorado falls to Los Angeles in the Western Conference Finals

It looks like the Avs have a clear path to the Western Conference Finals. But repeating as Stanley Cup Champions isn’t easy. You have to be the absolute best team in the league.

Is Colorado the absolute best team in NHL? Not even close. The Kings pull off the Western Conference Finals upset victory.

Stanley Cup Prediction: Los Angeles Kings vs. New York Rangers

A Kings versus Rangers Stanley Cup should be epic. The Rangers and Kings will battle it out until game seven.

In game seven, Los Angeles will prevail to win their first Stanley Cup since 2014.

Stanley Cup Prediction: Kings win in 7
