With the Tampa Bay Lightning on the cusp of winning their second straight Stanley Cup, leading 3-0 in the series against the Montreal Canadiens, one might be surprised that the oddsmakers have made Colorado and Las Vegas favorites to win the 2022 Stanley Cup.
SportsBetting.ag has made Colorado the favorite to hoist the 2022 Cup at 5/1 odds, while the Golden Knights were at 6/1 odds.
Tampa Bay was coming in at 7/1 odds followed by the Carolina Hurricanes at 11/1.
The Montreal Canadiens were getting little love at 20/1 odds.
The Lightning routed the Canadiens 6-3 Friday night and could walk away with the trophy Monday night should they sweep Montreal. There has not been a sweep in the Stanley Cup Final since 1998 when Detroit beat Washington in all four games.
It’s on the Canadiens to muster a response.
“We don’t have a choice,” goalie Carey Price said. “We’ve overcome adversity all season long, and our backs are obviously against the wall, so we’ll have to start bringing our best.”
