Men's Olympic hockey gold medal pick: Canada (+120)
One team having Macklin Celebrini, Sidney Crosby, Nathan MacKinnon, Mitch Marner, Connor McDavid, and Sam Reinhart on offense is just unfair. Then give it two of the NHL's best blueliners in Cale Makar and Josh Morrissey, and add red-hot netminder Logan Thompson, and you've got a recipe for a gold medal win.

Men's Olympic hockey group winner odds
Group A
Group A winner pick: Canada (-400)
While Czechia and Switzerland each boast some notable NHL names, Team Canada has several bonafide superstars, as well as five of the Top 6 names in the top goalscorer market. The Canadians will coast to a Group A win.
Group B
Group B winner pick: Sweden (-155)
Finland is the defending Olympic champion, but NHL players didn't go to the Beijing 2022 games. Suomi didn't look so hot in last year's 4 Nations Face-Off, finishing with a -6 goal differential.
Sweden, meanwhile, went 1-0-2, putting a scare into Canada while beating Team USA. They'll avenge their OT loss to the Finns.
Group C
Group C winner pick: USA (-1000)
Team USA not winning Group C would be an upset of massive proportions. Germany may have notable names like Leon Draisaitl and Tim Stutzle, but the Americans will have NHLers jumping the boards on every shift.

Name the finalists pick: Canada vs. USA (+150)
When it comes down to crunch time, the most important position on the ice is goaltender. The Canadians have arguably the hottest goalie going into the tournament in Thompson, while the Americans have reigning Vezina winner Connor Hellebuyck.
They'll grind out the elimination games to set up the heavyweight clash in the gold medal game.

| Nathan MacKinnon | +700 | +700 |
| Connor McDavid | +800 | +800 |
| Auston Matthews | +900 | +900 |

| Leon Draisaitl | +2500 | +2500 |
Top goalscorer pick: Kyle Connor (+10000)
Team Canada has too many mouths to feed, and Team USA's Auston Matthews feels too short at +900.
Kyle Connor caught my eye far down the board for the Americans, as he's scored 30+ goals every year since 2017-18 (excluding the COVID-shortened 2020-21 campaign), and has hit 40+ goals twice. He's on pace for 35 goals this year.
All odds as of 2-4-26.
