Coming into the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Dallas Stars were among the teams with the longest odds to win the Stanley Cup. The consensus odds place them between the Nashville Predators and Los Angeles Kings as the teams with the three longest odds on the board.

That has not deterred a bettor who has dropped $5,000 at BetMGM on the Stars to win the Western Conference and reach the Stanley Cup Final.

The Dallas Stars earned one of the two wildcard playoff spots in the Western Conference, finishing with 98 points. That gets them a first-round matchup with the Calgary Flames, the top team in the Pacific Division with 111 points.

Although the Stars’ top line of Jason Robertson, Roope Hintz, and Joe Pavelski is brilliant, Dallas lacks quality depth and, as a result, consistency has been an issue for most of the season. With Hintz and Robertson on the ice together at 5v5 this season, the Stars have outscored opponents by 20 goals. With them off the ice, the Stars have been outscored by 32 goals.

Should the Stars find their way past Calgary in the first round, which is already a tall order, they would face the winner of the Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings in the second round. If lady luck is still shining on the Stars at that point, the top team remaining from the Central Division — currently favored to be the top-seeded Colorado Avalanche — would be the final hurdle for the Stars to clear in order to reach the Cup Final and cash for $110,000.
