Stanley Cup Odds — Top Tier (preseason)
Oilers (+800), Hurricanes (+800), Avalanche (+800) sit at the top in one full-board screen. Next come Stars (+900), Panthers (+900), Golden Knights (+900), and Lightning (+1000).
Devils (+1400) and Maple Leafs (+1600) round out the main group. Kings and Jets show +2500, with Rangers at +3000. These tags show a tight race at the top and a clear gap after the first band.
Middle Tier & Long Shots
Capitals (+3000), Senators (+3500), Wild (+4000), Blues (+5000), Canadiens (+5000), and Utah Mammoth (+5000) sit in the mix. Canucks (+6000) follow.
Bruins show a rare long tag near +10000. Red Wings (+10000), Predators (+10000), and Blue Jackets (+10000) sit there too. Flyers, Islanders, Ducks are +15000, Penguins +20000, Kraken +30000, and Blackhawks and Sharks +50000.
Quick Team Notes from the Info
Florida opens at home on banner night. Reports say they have several injuries early, which can swing totals and moneyline price in the first month.
Dallas added scoring help last year and stayed near the top of boards. Stars still grade well in both goals for and goals against based on last season form.
Edmonton kept its core and added depth on the wings. Goaltending remains the main question on most sheets.
Carolina added help at wing and defense. Playoff finish will drive their midseason number more than regular-season pace.
Vegas added a top scorer on the wing and should have an elite power play. Blue line depth is the main concern noted.
Hurricanes, Oilers, Golden Knights, Avalanche, Panthers, and Stars show up as favorites or co-favorites in other snapshots too. Tags in those views run from about +825 to +1000 for that group.
Conference Picture
East: Hurricanes and Panthers lead the board. Lightning, Devils, and Maple Leafs sit behind them with bigger plus prices.
West: Oilers, Stars, Avalanche, and Golden Knights make up the main four. Kings and Jets are the next wave with longer tags.
Division Snapshot (use to shape your sheet)
Atlantic: Panthers short, then Lightning and Maple Leafs. Canadiens and Senators are live as middle numbers in some lists.
Metro: Hurricanes at the top. Rangers and Capitals sit behind at larger prices. Watch early goalie play here.
Central: Stars and Avalanche lead. Jets trail but are still in the playoff mix on most ranges.
Pacific: Oilers and Golden Knights headline. Kings are the main chaser with a mid-range tag.
Key Storylines to Price Weekly
Health for Florida’s top forwards. If key names are out, totals may dip and moneyline gaps may narrow.
Edmonton netminding. If the starter runs hot, shorten the Oilers fast. If form dips, widen again and expect over money.
Vegas blue line and cap squeeze. Depth on defense will matter in back-to-backs and long trips.
Carolina playoff gear. Regular-season wins will keep them short, but spring form will set true Cup price later.
How to Book It with a PPH
Set tiers first: the six-team favorite band, a middle band, then the long shots. Keep hold higher on public clubs like Oilers and Golden Knights.
Move numbers on goalie news and back-to-back spots. Offer props and alt lines to balance action with WagerHome.
PPH Betting Prediction
Futures pick: Dallas Stars at around +900 to +1000. They have strong five-on-five play and stable goaltending. The price is fair compared to other top tags.
Value add: Vegas Golden Knights near +900 to +950 with the new top winger and elite power play outlook. Long shot sprinkle: Ottawa Senators around +4500 if the goalie hits form. Manage exposure and step in on big moves rather than chasing steam.
Pick: Stars to win the Stanley Cup (+1000 range).
Secondary: Golden Knights (+950).
Long shot: Senators (+4500).
