Latest Stanley Cup odds movement

The dust (ice) has barely settled, but we're already looking toward next year. The Carolina Hurricanes are favored to repeat, with the Presidents' Trophy-winning Colorado Avalanche just behind them. At +1300, the Vegas Golden Knights are a few ticks below the top teams on the odds board, showing at least some uncertainty around their prospects of a similar run in 2027. Meanwhile, oddsmakers seem to think the Florida Panthers' dip out of the playoffs this past season was a blip after winning back-to-back Stanley Cups.

📈 Stanley Cup betting trends

Here are some trends you may want to consider before placing a bet on the Stanley Cup.

• Repeat winners are more common than you think. Since 2010, the Pittsburgh Penguins and Tampa Bay Lightning have successfully defended their Cup once. Florida now enters that elite group.
• Top teams from the beginning of the year typically go on to win the Cup. Since 2010, just five teams with odds above +1,000 have gone on to hoist Lord Stanley.
• In the last 10 seasons, the Eastern Conference has won seven Cups.
• The President’s Trophy winner has gone on to win the Stanley Cup just eight times in the 36 years that both trophies have been awarded.
• A team has won 2+ consecutive Stanley Cups 16 times, with the Panthers most recently completing the task.
• The runners-up have gone on to win the Stanley Cup in the following season only once since 1990 (Pittsburgh Penguins 2009).

Despite losing in the Eastern Conference Finals again, books think next year may be the year for the Carolina Hurricanes. Following suit are familiar faces in Florida and Edmonton.
