NHL Playoffs: Wide-Open Stanley Cup Race
Tap title to read story
The NHL playoffs are set to begin, and this year's Stanley Cup race is exceptionally tight. Eight teams have odds of 10-to-1 or shorter to win, including the defending champion Florida Panthers and the Colorado Avalanche, who are co-favorites at +750. Other contenders include the Carolina Hurricanes (+800), Dallas Stars (+850), Vegas Golden Knights (+850), Edmonton Oilers (+950), and Washington Capitals (+950). While several teams, like Toronto and Winnipeg, had strong regular seasons, American teams are heavily favored to win the Stanley Cup, making a Canadian victory unlikely.
