How to Bet on NHL Futures

Placing NHL futures bets is pretty straightforward, and the concept of outright wagers is easy to understand too. As the name implies, NHL futures bets allow you to bet on future NHL propositions, such as which team will win the Stanley Cup or reach the Stanley Cup Finals. You can also bet on the potential conference and division winners. Which NHL teams will get to the playoffs is an option too.

When you place NHL futures bets, you get fixed odds at the time of your wager. However, you must wait for the NHL regular season or the Stanley Cup Final to finish to know if you have a winning wager. That's great as, in theory, it allows you to follow the entire NHL season with only a single NHL bet.

2022-23 Stanley Cup Odds

Last year's NHL Stanley Cup champions, the Colorado Avalanche, are the top favorites with bookies to win the 2022-23 Stanley Cup. The Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning will be waiting in the wings, and the Florida Panthers and the Carolina Hurricanes are the dark horses you want to back if you are looking for teams with enticing odds to win the Stanley Cup.

On the other end of the spectrum, the Montreal Canadiens, the team with the most Stanley Cups and 2021 Stanley Cup Finals participant, is a decent underdog option and comes with excellent early odds. The Dallas Stars, Boston Bruins, and St. Louis Blues have decent Stanley Cup odds too.

2022-23 NHL Eastern Conference Odds

With NHL future odds fit for a favorite, the Maple Leafs are the team to beat in the NHL Eastern Conference. However, that doesn't mean that the Panthers, Lightning, and Hurricanes won't go down without a fight. The NY Rangers are a good outside bet in this market.

Toronto Maple Leafs	5.15
Florida Panthers	6.10
Tampa Bay Lightning	6.30
Carolina Hurricanes	6.35
New York Rangers	10.40

2022-23 NHL Western Conference Odds

The Colorado Avalanche won the NHL Western Conference and are the favorites to repeat that feat in the 2022-23 NHL season. Three-time conference winners, the Calgary Flames, and last year's Western Conference finalists, the Edmonton Oilers, are the teams that will try to dethrone the Avalanche. The Minnesota Wild and the Vegas Golden Knights are the dark horses in this market.

Team	Odds by Bettarget
Colorado Avalanche	2.70
Calgary Flames	7.45
Edmonton Oilers	7.80
Minnesota Wild	9.35
Vegas Golden Knights	9.70

2022-23 NHL Metropolitan Division Odds

Bookies favorites for the Metropolitan Division, the Carolina Hurricanes, won their first and only Stanley Cup in 2006. In doing so, they also brought the first major professional sports championship to North Carolina. If they are to repeat that feat, they will first have to top their division in the regular season. However, the NY Rangers, Pittsburgh Penguins, and even the Washington Capitals will have other plans.

Team	Odds by Sportsbet.io
Carolina Hurricanes	2.70
New York Rangers	4.00
Pittsburgh Penguins	4.20
Washington Capitals	7.00
New York Islanders	9.50

2022-23 NHL Atlantic Division Odds

The Toronto Maple Leafs are the betting favorites to win the NHL Atlantic Division, but only by the slightest of margins. The Florida Panthers and the Tampa Bay Lightning will be hot on their heels, and one of the best teams of the past decade, the Boston Bruins, have an outside chance to win the division.

Team	Odds by Sportsbet.io
Toronto Maple Leafs	2.80
Florida Panthers	3.05
Tampa Bay Lightning	3.40
Boston Bruins	9.50
Detroit Red Wings	25.00

2022-23 NHL Central Division Odds

The team with the lowest Stanley Cup odds, the Colorado Avalanche, is also the favorite to top the Central Division. That means the other teams get excellent odds to win their division. So, if you think the Colorado Avalanche will flop, the Minnesota Wild and St. Louis Blues are great options.

Team	Odds by Sportsbet.io
Colorado Avalanche	1.55
Minnesota Wild	4.40
St. Louis Blues	8.50
Nashville Predators	11.50
Dallas Stars	13.00

2022-23 NHL Pacific Division Odds

Sports gambling websites say that the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers have almostntical chances to top the Pacific Division. The Vegas Knights and the Los Angeles Kings are also in with a shot. Lower down the table, the Vancouver Canucks have great odds to win the Pacific Division but are also the riskiest bet of them all. If you have a couple of free bets available, using them on the Cannucks might be the smart thing to do here.

Team	Odds by Sportsbet.io
Calgary Flames	3.15
Edmonton Oilers	3.30
Vegas Golden Knights	4.40
Los Angeles Kings	5.00
Vancouver Canucks	10.50

2022-23 NHL Playoffs Odds

All the favorites to reach the NHL playoffs come with pretty low odds. And that is to be expected. No one will bat an eye if the Buffalo Sabres, Arizona Coyotes, or San Jose Sharks miss out on a playoff spot. If something like that happens to the Avalanche or Maple Leafs, though, it will be a massive shock. In short, the top 10 teams to qualify for the NHL playoffs may not get the most enticing odds to win in this market. However, they are all low-risk bets worth exploring.

Team	Odds by Powbet
Colorado Avalanche	1.02
Toronto Maple Leafs	1.08
Florida Panthers	1.11
Tampa Bay Lightning	1.12
Edmonton Oilers	1.13
Carolina Hurricanes	1.14
Calgary Flames	1.15
Minnesota Wild	1.25
New York Rangers	1.32
Vegas Golden Knights	1.37

How do American Odds Work when Betting on the Winner of the Stanley Cup?

When you bet on the Stanley Cup winner using American odds, you can back favorites or underdogs. Favorites come with negative American odds (e.g. -500). These ice hockey odds tell you how much you need to stake ($500) to get a profit of $100. In contrast, underdogs get positive odds (e.g. +250). These NHL futures odds show you the profit you would get from a $100 stake ($250).

How Do I Find the Best NHL Futures Odds to Bet on the Stanley Cup Finals?

To find the best odds to bet on the Stanley Cup Finals, you need to join a betting site that works with a minimal house edge. The online sportsbooks we feature at BetPack are great places to start.

Can I Bet on NHL Player Awards?

Yes, you can. You can bet on the Vezina Trophy, given to the best goaltender, the Hart Memorial Trophy, awarded to the most valuable player in the NHL regular season, and the Conn Smythe Trophy, given to the most valuable player of the NHL playoffs.

How Do Decimal and Fractional NHL Outright Odds Work?

You multiply NHL decimal odds by your bet stake and get your total potential winnings (stake and profit). Fractional odds, on the other hand, show you the ratio of profit (the money you stand to win) to bet stake. For instance, fractional odds of 4/7, tell you that you will make a profit of $4 if you stake $7.
