The Connor McDavid led Oilers started the season as the $9.00 favourite to win the Cup and go one better than they did in the 2023-24 season, expected to win for the first time since 1990.

Surprisingly it is the New Jersey Devils, who didn’t even make the playoffs last season, starting the year as second-shortest at $10.00 with punters and bookies looking past their injury-riddled year last season and are backing they will reach their potential.

Stanley Cup Champs the Florida Panthers and the Dallas Stars are both $11.00 to win and the Colorado Avalanche and Carolina Hurricanes both paying $12.00. Rounding out the true contenders for the NHL’s biggest prize are the New York Rangers ($14.00), Vancouver Canucks ($15.00) and Toronto Maple Leafs ($15.00).

As we have seen in the NHL over the past few seasons, there is no real clear-cut favourite with the league hitting a patch where a good handful of teams can take it out. Just last season the Edmonton Oilers were in last place after a third of regular season was played and now they are stanley Cup runners-up and are favourites for the 2024-25 season.
