Stanley Cup Odds: Hurricanes Become Odds-On Favorites After Game 3 Win
In this story:
The Carolina Hurricanes had their backs up against the wall after losing Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals to the Montreal Canadiens. Since then, things have broken their way.
The Hurricanes have now won two straight overtime games to take the 2-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference Final. Not only that, but the Colorado Avalanche, who have been the Stanley Cup Favorites for the majority of the season, are on the cusp of getting swept at the hands of the Vegas Golden Knights.
Let's take a look at the latest odds to lift the Cup.
Stanley Cup Odds
- Hurricanes -105
- Golden Knights +150
- Canadiens +850
- Avalanche +1600
The Hurricanes are now set as -105 favorites to win the Stanley Cup, an implied probability of 51.22%. Meanwhile, the Golden Knights are a clear second at +150. They need to win just one of their next four games to win the Western Conference and secure a spot in the Stanley Cup Final.
The Canadiens, despite being down just 2-1 in the series, are set at +850 to win the Stanley Cup. The Avalanche, who are facing a 0-3 deficit, are all the way down to +1600 to win the Cup. They entered the conference finals as the +130 favorites to win it all.
The Hurricanes are set as -520 favorites to win the Eastern Conference Final, and the Golden Knights are set as -1400 favorites to win the Western Conference Final. Game 4 of the Western Conference Final is tonight.
