The casual fan’s guide to betting on the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs

Are we actually betting on a Canadian team to win the whole thing?

Hello, and welcome to the Stanley Cup Playoffs! To be more specific, this is a guide for the casual NHL fan who, like myself, only pops up during the postseason but now wants a stake in the action we didn’t follow nearly enough in the regular season.

Did you know an absurdly large amount of goals were scored this season, a number not seen in decades? No? Great, then this guide is for you.

For deeper analysis on each of the 16 teams in the postseason, I recommend checking out all of the awesome playoff content by For The Win’s Mary Clarke, including her Stanley Cup Playoff power rankings. But here we’ll get into the odds of these teams in the first round and beyond, and make a couple picks to win us some money.

All odds are via Tipico Sportsbook
