We are approaching the final 30 games of the National Hockey League season, which means it’s time to start looking at the postseason. The postseason award in the NHL is known as the Stanley Cup. Online betting sites have updated their odds to win the 2016 Stanley Cup, let’s take a look at them:

Blackhawks the Clear Favorites

The Chicago Blackhawks are the favorite to win the 2016 Stanley Cup out of the Western Conference. The Blackhawks won the cup last season, and are ruling the Central Division currently. Chicago comes into the new week listed at +450 to win the Stanley Cup. But, they are not the overall favorite to win the Stanley Cup. Out of the Eastern Conference, the Washington Capitals are the favorite. The Capitals are listed at +325. Washington is 12 points better than any other team in the Eastern Conference.

Stars and Kings Right Behind

The Dallas Stars and Los Angeles Kings are the next two teams listed as favorites to win the 2016 Stanley Cup. The Stars have 71 points, only behind the Blackhawks, while the Kings are the leaders of the Pacific Division, with 65 points. Dallas is listed at +650 to win the 2016 Stanley Cup, while the Los Angeles Kings is at +700.

Best of the Rest NHL Teams

The next two on the list are out of the Eastern Conference. The Florida Panthers have been surprisingly really good this season. The Panthers lead the Atlantic Division, and are listed at +1000. Next, at +1200 is the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Lightning are the defending Eastern Conference champions, after they lost to the Blackhawks last year in the Stanley Cup. Those two round out the Top 6.

The final four teams to round out the Top 10 to win the 2016 Stanley Cup are: St. Louis Blues, New York Rangers, Anaheim Ducks and the Detroit Red Wings. The Blues, Rangers and Ducks are all listed at +1400, while the Red Wings are at +2000. The Blues are currently third in the Central behind the Blackhawks and Stars, the Rangers are behind the Capitals in the Metropolitan Division, while the Ducks are third in the Pacific behind the Kings and the Sharks.

It should be an interesting final couple months of the National Hockey League season. The odds will change again before the postseason begins.
