What a difference a couple of weeks make.
With the stunning eliminations of the Boston Bruins and the Colorado Avalanche from the playoffs, the Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers have now jumped to the top of the betting odds to win the Stanley Cup.
When the playoffs began, Boston was seen as the outright favourite to win the Stanley Cup, with the Colorado Avalanche second. Now the Leafs sit first among the remaining teams followed by the Oilers.
Going into their first-round matchup, the Leafs are -222 favourites over the Panthers who are +160 underdogs. The Oilers are -182 betting odd to beat the Golden Knights who are a +140 underdog.
