The 2021 NHL Playoffs began on May 15, 2021, and the 2021 Stanley Cup odds have actually been somewhat in flux since opening faceoff. However the top 5 favorites to win all of it (as of the start of the playoffs) have stayed relatively consistent all season long: Colorado Avalanche Tampa Bay Lightning Boston Bruins Las Vegas Golden Knights Carolina Hurricanes However, due to COVID-19 limitations, the 2020-21 NHL Season was reduced from 82 games to 56 games.
However that does not mean the betting isn't warming up, and the atmospheres at the video games are back to electrical thanks to the presence of fans. Will the Tampa Bay Lightning strike twice? Or will the chances on favorite Colorado Avalanche satisfy expectations? Nobody understands yet, which is what makes betting on the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs so exciting.
