Stanley Cup Odds: Betting Analysis in the Conference Finals

It has been a wild Stanley Cup playoff, as always seems to be the case, but we are now very close to knowing which two teams will be battling it out to hoist the iconic trophy. The Florida Panthers punched their ticket last night, which we will get into in a moment, while the Western Conference Final is very much on the brink of being over. These developments mean that the bookies have once again adjusted their odds to win the Stanley Cup, and that is what we are about to look at now. These odds will almost certainly change again once we get done with the Western Conference Final, so now might well be the time to get your wagers in if you think you know who will win it all. Let’s now take a look at the current odds to win the 2023 Stanley Cup.

NHL Conference Finals and Betting Predictions for Teams battling for Stanley Cup | NHL Lines by MyBookie

Vegas Golden Knights

Betting Pick: -125

Given that this team has only been in existence since the 2017-18 season, you have to be more than a little surprised at their level of success to this point. They made it to the Stanley Cup Final in their inaugural season, losing in 5 games to the Washington Capitals, and have only missed the playoffs once in their history. They are now on the brink of another Final appearance, as they have the Dallas Stars on a deep 0-3 hole as we get ready for Game 4 on Thursday night.

Vegas has looked more than a little comfortable on this run, ousting the Winnipeg Jets in 5 games in Round 1 before taking out the Edmonton Oilers in 6. Like we said earlier, the Golden Knights are now just 1 win away from moving on, and given how they have played this postseason, it is not surprising to see them in as the favorite.

Florida Panthers

Betting Pick: +111

This past offseason, the Panthers shipped out Jonathan Huberdeau and Mackenzie Weegar to the Calgary Flames in exchange for Matthew Tkachuk, with many believing that the price was too high. No one is saying that now, though, as Tkachuk has been brilliant this postseason, as has their goaltender and defense. The Panthers were seen as nothing more than the first steppingstone for the Boston Bruins, but they stunned the President’s Trophy winners, taking them out in Round 1 in a brilliant 7-game series. Winning 3 in a row to dig out of a 1-3 hole, the Panthers found their momentum and are now 11-1 in their last 12 playoff games. This indeed looks like a team of destiny right now.

Dallas Stars

Betting Pick: +2400

A series is never over until one team wins that 4th and final game, but you do have to say that things look very bleak indeed for the Dallas Stars. They head into Thursday night down 0-3 to the Vegas Golden Knights and they look like a team that is out of answers. They had to come from behind to win both series against the Wild and Kraken this postseason, but they were not in a hole as deep as this one in those series. It looks like just a matter of time before their season comes to an end.
