The 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs are down to four teams remaining with the Western Conference Final and Eastern Conference Final both getting underway this week.
The Colorado Avalanche and Carolina Hurricanes have been atop the Stanley Cup odds all season long, and it’s no surprise that they’re two of the last teams standing. Of course, they’re still the two overwhelming favorites The Vegas Golden Knights and Montreal Canadiens stand in their way. It would be surprising if either of those teams took down the Avalanche or Hurricanes, though. The Hurricanes have had similar movement throughout the playoffs.
They started at +475 then moved to below +300 after Round 1, and shorter than two-to-one after an early win against the Flyers. The Golden Knights surprisingly haven’t moved too much despite putting together a few strong wins against the Ducks in the Western Conference Semifinals. Perhaps that’s due to how dominant the Avalanche have been all season long. The Canadiens have had a good run, but it looks like they’re at the end of the line.
They ran out of gas towards the end of the series against the Sabres, and the Canes should take advantage of that after over a week off. You can get the Avalanche to beat the Hurricanes at +235 or the Hurricanes to beat the Avalanche at +310. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.
