Top Stanley Cup Final Betting Picks: Rangers and Lightning Favorites to Win
With three teams remaining in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, here are the best betting opportunities for the Stanley Cup Final.
The Colorado Avalanche await the winner of the Tampa Bay Lightning vs New York Rangers Eastern Conference Final series, which is tied 2-2. Before the Stanley Cup Final begins, consider these two high-value bets:
New York Rangers to Win Stanley Cup (+650)
- Currently two wins away from Finals appearance
- Have home-ice advantage in remaining conference games
- Elite goaltender in Igor Shesterkin
- Competitive talent level with Colorado/Tampa
- Significantly better odds compared to Lightning (+300) and Avalanche (-213)
Steven Stamkos to Win Conn Smythe (+2300)
- Lightning captain heating up with goals in 3 of 4 conference final games
- Coming off career-best regular season (42 goals, 106 points)
- Strong value at +2300 if Tampa advances
- Tampa's previous Conn Smythe winners were Vasilevskiy and Hedman
- Could be Stamkos' turn for playoff MVP honors
