Stanley Cup Odds & Favorites 2027: Avalanche Top the Boards
The Colorado Avalanche lead the 2026-27 Stanley Cup odds at +720 heading into Oct. 27, narrowly ahead of the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes (+800) and Florida Panthers (+900).
Colorado remains the betting favorite despite a 6-5-1 start. The Avalanche have scored 49 goals through 12 games, but they've also allowed 40, highlighting the defensive issues that have kept their high-powered offense from producing more victories.
The Edmonton Oilers follow at +1000 after opening the season 8-2-2, while the Golden Knights and Tampa Bay Lightning are tied at +1100. The Minnesota Wild (+1400) and New Jersey Devils (+1500) follow, with the Dallas Stars (+1700) next.

Stanley Cup predictions
Dustin Saracini: I'm not sure if there's a better price on the board over the Avalanche. The most complete team in hockey is coming in at +800 - I'd price this closer to +600. With a true 1A, 1B situation in net, the Avs might finally break through.
