Vegas Golden Knights are the 2023 Stanley Cup winners after beating Florida Panthers 4-1 in the final series.

It’s noteworthy that the Carolina Hurricanes stand tied category, boasting odds of 9/1 for a potential championship win. This translates to an implied probability of 9.09% for the Hurricanes, who strive to clinch their second championship in franchise history.

Notably, Carolina has clinched divisional triumphs for three consecutive years, achieving two second-round advancements prior to last year’s commendable journey to the conference finals. While the Hurricanes ultimately conceded victory to the Florida Panthers, it still marked their most substantial foray into the playoffs since 2009.

For the consecutive second year, the Colorado team emerges as a favored contender in the Stanley Cup betting arena. Specifically, the Avalanche stands as one of the two teams with three-digit odds.

In the preceding season, the Avalanche demonstrated their prowess by concluding with a 51-24 record, securing their position atop the Central division for the third successive year. However, their postseason journey was unexpectedly curtailed when they faced a surprise defeat from the Seattle Kraken in the opening round. This outcome marked their swiftest exit from the playoffs since 2018.
