Stanley Cup playoffs daily: Can the Avalanche force a Game 5?
The Stanley Cup playoffs are truly unpredictable. The Colorado Avalanche had been the championship favorites for nearly the entire regular season and postseason and had been +130 to hoist the Cup coming into the Western Conference final, but after going down 3-0 to the Vegas Golden Knights, the Avs have fallen to 15-1, dead last on the odds board.
The Golden Knights have correspondingly rocketed up the Stanley Cup winner board, going from +600 before the series to +155. Vegas is now -1100 to win the conference to Colorado’s +700.
The Carolina Hurricanes are the odds-on title favorites at -110, improving their odds from +195 after winning games 2 and 3 of the Eastern Conference final, both in overtime; the Montreal Canadiens dropped from +370 to +950 with the consecutive losses. Carolina is back out to a comfortable odds lead to win the Eastern Conference at -500, with Montreal at +370.
