And then there were four, with four teams remaining in the Preakness betting Stanley Cup playoffs, the bookmakers in Las Vegas have set up brand new odds. This week, fans sports betting on the NHL, will have the opportunity to watch games two to four of both the Eastern and Western Conference Finals. Today we will be looking at the updated odds for the NHL’s final four teams.

As sports bettors, we find ourselves entrenched in a constant search for great value odds on our favorite teams. With the Stanley Cup playoff odds changing from round to round, fans are finding it more difficult to receive great value on their picks. Regardless, here are the odds for each remaining team. For all intents and purposes, the odds are placed beside each team and broken down by series.

Eastern Conference Finals Boston Bruins (+450) v Tampa Bay Lightning (+275) – Despite being ranked higher in the overall standings, the Bruins find themselves as an underdog in the Eastern Conference finals against Tampa Bay. Essentially, Tampa Bay won game one of the series by a convincing score of five to two. Therefore, the bookmakers felt that the Lightning’s game one win tied with their series victories over top seed Washington and fourth seed Pittsburgh, warranted the favorite status. Bettors taking the Lightning have to risk $100 to get back $275 on their odds. Meanwhile, bettors taking Boston to not only win the series, but the Stanley Cup, only need to risk $100 to get back $450.

Western Conference Finals San Jose Sharks (+450) v Vancouver Canucks (+110) – Prior to their game one victory over the San Jose Sharks, the Vancouver Canucks were a +160 favorite to win the Stanley Cup. Since they won game one, the Canucks saw their odds rise to +110, presenting a bit of a challenge for bettors trying to find value. Conversely, because of the game one loss, the Sharks dropped from a +250 favorite to win the Stanley Cup, to a +450 underdog. For the reason that we are in the business of finding value, we suggest that similar to taking the Boston Bruins in the East, you should take the San Jose Sharks to come out of the West, because +450 offers more value than the +110 tied to Vancouver.
