The Stanley Cup Finals are down to four contenders: Colorado Avalanche, Edmonton Oilers, Tampa Bay Lightning, and New York Rangers. Here are the best betting opportunities available right now:

New York Rangers (+650)

• Strong regular season record (52-24-6)
• Home ice advantage against Tampa Bay
• Elite goaltending from Igor Shesterkin (.928 save percentage, ~34 saves per game)
• Strong offensive producers in Mika Zibanejad and Adam Fox
• Value pick to dethrone two-time champion Lightning

Connor McDavid Conn Smythe Trophy (+1100)

• League's best player leading all scorers with 29 points in 13 playoff games
• On pace for historic postseason point total
• Could surpass Gretzky's record (47 points)
• Opportunity increased with Avalanche goalie Kuemper injured
• Could win award even if Oilers don't win Cup (5 previous winners from losing teams)

Key Factors:

• Shesterkin's elite goaltending gives Rangers strong upset potential
• McDavid's historic scoring pace makes him compelling value at +1100
• Oilers at +1000 to win Cup but McDavid could win Conn Smythe regardless

The Rangers and McDavid represent the best betting value remaining in this year's Stanley Cup playoffs, with both offering significant upside at their current odds.
