Stanley Cup 2020 Betting Odds

NHL Betting is set to ramp up over the next few weeks as the 2020 NHL Playoffs begin at the beginning of August. The league has been shut down since mid-March, but 24 teams are ready to compete for the Stanley Cup.

Stanley Cup Finals betting is extremely popular with sports bettors in the United States, and BetUS Sportsbook has already released its odds. These Stanley Cup Finals betting odds will change over the course of the next few weeks, but now is a great time to get your bets in.

Here are the current odds for the top contenders as listed by BetUS sportsbook for upcoming Stanley Cup Finals bets. We also have NHL odds up for the first games of the season restart.

Stanley Cup Betting Favorites

  •       Tampa Bay Lightning +450
  •       Boston Bruins +450
  •       Vegas Golden Knights +600
  •       Colorado Avalanche +700
  •       St. Louis Blues +900

Even though there is plenty of uncertainty heading into the restart of the 2020 NHL season, it’s pretty clear which teams are the favorites. A pair of Eastern Conference teams lead the way, followed up by three of the top teams from the Western Conference. 

The St. Louis Blues are the defending Stanley Cup champions, and they won’t be an easy team to knock off this season. Colorado and Vegas will provide stiff competition in the Western Conference, and it should be a wild race.

 Boston and Tampa Bay have separated themselves from the competition in the Eastern Conference, and they have terrific rosters. Don’t be surprised if these teams meet up in the Eastern Conference Finals. Both teams are tied at +300 in our odds to win the Eastern Conference.

Stanley Cup Betting Contenders

  •       Philadelphia Flyers +1200
  •       Washington Capitals +1200
  •       Dallas Stars +1400
  •       Pittsburgh Penguins +1400

 Even though the five teams listed in the previous section are all tremendous teams, anything can happen during the restart of the 2020 season. These four teams could all factor into the mix, and they have rosters that have plenty of playoff experience.

The Flyers, Capitals, and Penguins all have plenty of recent postseason success in the Eastern Conference, and they could upset the Bruins and Lightning. The Dallas Stars will challenge the top teams in the Western Conference for the right to compete for Lord Stanley’s Cup.

Stanley Cup Betting Longshots

  •       Edmonton Oilers +2500
  •       Toronto Maple Leafs +2500
  •       New York Rangers +3000
  •       Columbus Blue Jackets +3300
  •       Carolina Hurricanes +3500
  •       Vancouver Canucks +3500
  •       Winnipeg Jets +4000
  •       Calgary Flames +4000
  •       Florida Panthers +4000
  •       Nashville Predators +4000
  •       New York Islanders +4000

Edmonton and Toronto will be the “host” cities for the NHL restart, but that’s about the only advantage those two teams will have. There are some interesting teams in this group, but it’s hard to see any of these teams making a run all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals.

This group of teams will be teams to watch out for entering the upcoming 2020-21 season, but they don’t figure to be a factor in the Stanley Cup Finals race this season.

Stanley Cup Betting Underdogs

  •       Arizona Coyotes +4500
  •       Minnesota Wild +4500
  •       Chicago Blackhawks +8000
  •       Montreal Canadiens +8000

If one of these teams were to win the Stanley Cup, it would be one of the biggest upsets in the history of sports. These teams should just be thankful to be included in the restart.
