The NHL Playoffs are almost here! The final week of the regular season will have a major impact on the playoff seeding and matchups. The race for the Wild Card is especially contested in the Western Conference, where the Oilers, Blues, Wild, and Flames all sit within 6 points of each other.
Let us know your predictions for the playoff matchups and final results in the Stanley Cup playoffs! We'll see who nails the pick from the very start. Here's the current overall odds:
Dallas Stars +600
Florida Panthers +650
Colorado Avalanche +750
Vegas Golden Knights +900
Edmonton Oilers +1000
Carolina Hurricanes +1000
Washington Capitals +1000
Tampa Bay Lightning +1100
Toronto Maple Leafs +1200
Winnipeg Jets +1200
Almost the entire playoff field is very close to each other in the odds. Parity is at an all-time high in hockey, preventing one clear favorite from emerging. A team like the Oilers at +1000 is intriguing, considering the game-breaking potential of Connor McDavid, which we saw last postseason. Who do you see taking home the Stanley Cup in June?
