NHL 2022 Stanley Cup Exact Series Result Betting Analysis and Odds Preview

NHL 2022 Stanley Cup Exact Series Result Betting Analysis and Odds Preview

If Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final is anything to go on, then we are in for an exciting series. That really shouldn’t come as much of a surprise when you consider that all 3 meetings between the Colorado Avalanche and the Tampa Bay Lightning this season have been decided by a single goal. It is, though, worth noting that it is the Avalanche who came out on top on all 3 occasions. Whether that means we are looking at a sweep or not remains to be seen, but it does make wagering on the exact series result a little more intriguing. There are now 7 possible scenarios to choose from, but what are the NHL Playoffs Betting Lines for each of those? Let’s take a look and see.

Stanley Cup Exact Series Result Odds Analysis | NHL Playoffs Betting Picks

Avalanche in 5 (+300)

The bookies seem to think that the Stanley Cup Final will be over rather quickly, as the Avalanche in 5 has the shortest odds on the board at the moment. They certainly looked to be cruising in Game 1, taking a 3-1 lead in the first period. The Lightning pegged that deficit back before finally losing in OT. This suggests that they are very much in this series and will likely win at least one game.

Avalanche in 6 (+400)

Of all the potential outcomes, this is the one that seems the most likely to me. The Lightning have already proven that they are not an easy out, and with a pair of home games coming up rather quickly, you have to think that they are going to get back into this series. Honestly, I would not be surprised to see them steal Game 2 on the road.

Avalanche in 7 (+450)

From the outset, my feeling was that this would be a longer series, with my pick being the Avalanche to win it in 6. It’s not too much of a stretch to imagine this one requiring the full 7 games, though, especially if the defending champions can take Game 2 and steal home ice advantage.

Avalanche in 4 (+500)

In sports wagering, you very quickly learn to never say never, but I would be very surprised if the Avalanche won this series in a sweep. The Lightning have proven to be very resilient, not just this season, but over their 3 straight runs to the Stanley Cup Final. They are not a team to simply roll over and die.

Lightning in 7 (+620)

If you are still of the belief that the Lightning can deliver the threepeat, then now is the time to get in on the action, as the odds for them winning it all are great at the moment. Outside of the Panthers series in Round 2, Tampa has been made to work for their series wins, so a long series is not out of the question.

Lightning in 6 (+790)

Again, the odds here are fantastic for a team that has made a habit of winning the Stanley Cup over the past couple of years. The jury is out as to whether this team is as good as the previous two, but they are certainly still capable of turning things around.

Lightning in 5 (+1600)

I think the odds here are spot on, as this outcome seems even less likely than the Avalanche sweeping the series. I just don’t see either of these two teams winning 4 in a row.
