Odds courtesy of FanDuel Canada as of 5-20.
Books currently have a Stanley Cup Finals rematch favored as the most realistic outcome, but I don't think fans will have to worry about a repeat performance.
The Dallas Stars should be fully healthy in the Western Conference Finals, and they'll breathe a sigh of relief going from Connor Hellebuyck to Stuart Skinner. As for the East, I don't see anyone stopping Florida from reaching their third-straight crack at the Cup.
