With a first-round victory in the books and their opponent set for the second round of the NHL postseason the Boston Bruins continue to hold down the top of the odds to win the Stanley Cup at the sportsbooks.

After knocking out the Detroit Red Wings in five games in the first round of the playoffs the Bruins sit as the 5/2 favorites on the latest Stanley Cup odds at Bodog. Boston gave up just six goals in those five games against Detroit, winning Game 5 by a 4-2 score on Saturday afternoon.

With one week of NHL playoff betting action in the books the Boston Bruins remain the favorites on the odds to win the Stanley Cup after allowing just two goals in two games against the Detroit Red Wings in their first-round series.

After splitting their season series two games apiece the Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers clash in the opening round of the NHL playoffs, with Game 1 at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night.

Home ice advantage could be the key to this series, as the home team won all four matchups between the Rangers and Flyers this season. It could be especially big for New York, who enter the series riding an eight-game winning streak at home versus Philly.

This Original Six matchup hasn’t happened in the postseason in a long time; 57 years to be exact. The Bruins and Wings will clash in the playoffs for the first time since 1957 thanks to Detroit’s move to the Eastern Conference before the season.

Boston may have posted the best record in the NHL this season, but Detroit had their number. The Wings won three of four matchups against Boston this season and they’re an incredible 7-1 in their last eight games versus the Bruins.

The Ducks finished with the best record in the Western Conference this season, but they don’t get an easy first-round matchup against the potent Stars.

Dallas actually won the season series against the Ducks this season taking two of three games. That includes two straight wins and a 2-0 victory in Anaheim the last time they met up in February.

The NHL playoffs begin this week with the Boston Bruins holding steady in futures wagering at the sportsbooks as 7/2 favourites on the Stanley Cup odds. The Bruins clinched the East after going on a torrid 15-1 SU stretch in the month of March. Since then, the B’s have cooled off, ending the regular season with five losses in their final seven games.

The NHL regular season is into its last days, and as the Stanley Cup playoffs approach Zdeno Chara and the Boston Bruins remain the 9/2 favourites on the odds to win the Stanley Cup in futures betting at the sportsbooks.

Riding the wave of a recent winning streak, the Boston Bruins now sit as the favourite on the Stanley Cup odds at the sportsbooks to win their second championship in four years. Entering the final two weeks of the regular season, the Bruins currently sit at 9/2 in NHL futures wagering.

The St. Louis Blues bolstered their lineup prior to the NHL’s Trade Deadline by acquiring goaltender Ryan Miller from the Buffalo Sabres, and they remain atop the latest Stanley Cup odds at the sportsbooks with the season winding down.

With NHL players finally emerging from their extended Olympic break it’s the St. Louis Blues that find themselves the new leaders on the Stanley Cup odds at the online sportsbooks, ahead of the Chicago Blackhawks and the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Blues will begin their post-Olympic schedule with a record of 39-12-6 and tied with the Blackhawks atop the Central Division standings (with three games in hand). That has the Blues listed as the 11/2 favorites on the updated Stanley Cup odds at Bodog.
