Canadian NHL Teams – Best Odds to Win Stanley Cup
Ask any Canadian, and they will tell you (angrily) that the Stanley Cup hasn’t been won by a Canadian team since 1994. That’s so long ago, that most of the young players in the league weren’t yet born the last time it was won by a Canadian city. The Montreal Canadiens were the last to do it. They’re +19800 long shots to do it again in 2021. But what about the rest of the Canadian teams?
The Toronto Maple Leafs currently have the best odds for a Canadian team on the 2022 NHL Futures board, at +800. The Oilers are next in line, priced at +1400. The Flames at +1700, the Winnipeg Jets at +2900 and the Ottawa Senators are the Canadian longshots, priced at +23100. For you Sens fans, that means that if you put a $20 bet on your team to hoist Lord Stanley next season, and they somehow pulled it off, you’d win $4640.00.

What is a Stanley Cup Futures Bet?
You don’t have to wait for the actual tournament to bet on the Stanley Cup however, thanks to futures betting, because as soon as a Stanley Cup Champion is crowned, futures odds on next year’s potential winner are posted. As with most futures odds, because there are so many unknowns that could affect a team before and throughout the regular season, making a bet on the future winner is a calculated risk.
Understanding NHL Betting Odds
Let’s take a look at this game between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Montreal Canadiens as our example. In the moneyline column, you can see the following numbers:
Philadelphia -146
Montreal +122
This means that the Flyers are favored to win, as shown by the minus sign written in front of the 146, and the Canadiens are the underdogs, as shown by the plus sign in front of the 122.
Over/Under
You can also bet on the total number of goals scored in a game. In the above example, the sportsbook has set a an Over/Under of 5. Usually that Over/Under or Totals number will be set around 5 and 6.5 for NHL games, and you’re betting on whether the number of goals scored in that game will be more (Over) or less (Under) the listed number.
