Stanley Cup Odds: A Full Weekend's action before the Playoffs

The NHL regular season comes to a close next Friday, April 14, so this will be the last full weekend of action we have before the playoffs begin. That there are still questions to be answered across both conferences tells you just how tight things are across the board. Sure, there are a couple of teams that have emerged as legitimate Stanley Cup favorites, but for the most part, things are pretty wide open. Heading into the final full weekend, we thought it would be good to look at the teams that are currently in, and what their NHL championship odds are.

Updated 2023 Stanley Cup Odds, picks, favorites & dark horses before the weekend games

Eastern Conference

Boston Bruins 125 points (+320)

The President’s Trophy winners will, rather unsurprisingly, go into the playoffs as the favorite to win it all, but will their regular season dominance carry over?

Carolina Hurricanes 109 points (+850)

The Metropolitan Division crown is still up for grabs, but the Hurricanes are in the driver’s seat with a 3-point lead.

New Jersey Devils 106 points (+1000)

One of the more surprising teams of the season. You have to wonder if they are now playing with house money.

New York Rangers 103 points (+1175)

The Rangers are rounding into form rather nicely, going 7-2-1 in their last 10. Might that be a sign that they are gearing up for the postseason?

Toronto Maple Leafs 102 points (+900)

Another very good regular season for the Leafs, but they have been a disaster in the playoffs in recent years. Is this the season they turn it around?
