With points in 16 straight games heading into Wednesday’s action, the Boston Bruins are not only the class of the Eastern Conference, they’re the new odds-on favourite to win the Stanley Cup.
According to popular gambling website Bodog, the Bruins are 9/2 favourites to hoist the Cup, closely followed by the St. Louis Blues and their 5/1 odds. For much of the season the Blues had the best odds to be crowned champs.
The Bruins haven’t lost in regulation since March 1 and are currently leading the Presidents’ Trophy race.
The Montreal Canadiens, who could well end up being the only Canadian team to qualify for the post-season, have 22/1 odds to win their 25th Stanley Cup in franchise history.
