NHL to return: Updated Stanley Cup playoff odds

Updated NHL Stanley Cup Playoff odds and betting lines around the league’s new 24-team playoff structure

With the NHL setting the table to return this summer and play out a modified NHL playoff structure, sports bettors can turn their attention toward resuming NHL future bets.

The Boston Bruins and Tampa Bay Lightning come in as the favorites in the eyes of the oddsmakers at BetMGM sportsbook, both listed at +600. New to NHL betting? +600 odds represents 6/1 fractional odds, implying both teams have a 14.29% chance to win it all this year. A $100 wager on the Bruins, for example, would profit $600 with a Boston Stanley Cup championship.
