2026 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs Odds for 16 Teams

When do the 2026 NHL Conference Finals start? Updated Odds, predictions for first round of playoffs series matchups.

Buckle up, the NHL Stanley Playoffs 2026 Schedule start today!

There are 16 teams in the NHL postseason, set to compete in 8 series across the Eastern and Western Conferences.

The NHL will not have a team win three consecutive Stanley Cup championships for the first time since the New York Islanders' four-year run from 1980-83, as the two-time defending champion Florida Panthers did not qualify for the postseason in 2025-26. But there's a strong chance the league will see the Presidents' Trophy-winning club capture the crown for the first time in 13 seasons.

The Colorado Avalanche were the best team in the NHL this season from start to finish and secured the Presidents' Trophy for the fourth time in franchise history. As a result, head coach Jared Bednar's team is the favorite to also win its fourth Stanley Cup and first since 2022.

Let’s take a look at the betting odds for all eight first round series.
