2022 NHL Stanley Cup and futures odds, picks, predictions
The 2022-23 NHL season surpassed the 200-game threshold on Tuesday night. Some teams have seen their odds change since Opening Night.
New Jersey Devils are the story of the first month of this season. They have won 10 of their last 11 games and are currently top of Metropolitan Division. Bookmakers have shortened the Devils to +2200. It's not the right time to back them. The team has a tough schedule and their goalie is still a concern. They play Ottawa, Arizona and Montreal this week. Bettors should be on the lookout for big numbers to fade a team that has priced itself out of market. “The NHL season is a marathon and the Devil's will have to deal with some adversity.”
Pittsburgh Penguins are on a six-game losing streak and 10 points behind the division-leading Devils. They are also five points adrift of the last playoff spot. Pittsburgh is generally controlling play at 5-on-5 and ranks inside the top-five in expected goals rate and high-danger chance rate.

The Pacific Division is not playing out as expected. The Seattle Kraken have a good record of 8-4-2 through their first 14 games. They have an expected goals rate above 50% and are breaking even on high-danger chances. Dave Hakstol can roll four lines and three defense pairs night in and night out. Seattle is +8000 to win the Stanley Cup and +4000 to be named Jack Adams. The odds are still high on Seattle. It's a great opportunity for bettors.
