Florida Panthers (-135) vs. New Rangers (+115)
The Panthers and Rangers get underway Wednesday night inside Madison Square Garden. It is a battle of the two best teams in the Eastern Conference. We are seeing the oddsmakers giving the Rangers some direct as they are not only the underdogs in the Eastern Conference Final but have the fourth-best odds to win the Stanley Cup.
This will be a tightly contested series that will come down to goaltending and special teams. You know the Rangers have the firepower to match the Florida Panthers. The question will be, does home-ice factor into this series at all? We have seen the Panthers feel comfortable on the road, closing out the Bruins in Boston. Similar with the Rangers when they closed out the Hurricanes in Carolina.
This feels like a pick’em series. However, Florida is favoured because it is the defending Eastern Conference champion, and many believe it will win the Cup this year.

Edmonton Oilers (+105) vs. Dallas Stars (-125)
The Edmonton Oilers and Dallas Stars will meet for the seventh time in the playoffs. The Stars are 5-1 in their last six playoff matchups. This is the Stars third trip to the Conference Final since the 2020 bubble and the second in two years. Meanwhile, this is the Oilers first trip to the Conference Final since 2022.
The Stars have had a couple of days off, while the Oilers had to play a Game 7 on Monday before hitting the road for Dallas. Jake Oettinger is the better goalie in this matchup. There are still questions about Stuart Skinner, who performed well in Games 6 and 7 against Vancouver. However, the Stars can generate more offense and shots than the Canucks did in the seven-game series.
We know the Oilers run through Connor McDavid and Leon Draisatil. At the same time, the Stars have a deep offense led by Logan Stankoven, Jason Robertson, Wyatt Johnston, Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin, and Joe Pavelski. On the back end, Miro Heiskanen and Evan Bouchard have been dynamic for their respective and will continue to do so in the Conference Final.
The Dallas Stars are a deeper team than the Edmonton Oilers. Everything will come down to whether or not the Oilers can hold up defensively. We know Dallas can. There is a reason why the Stars have been everyone’s Cup favorite since the start of the season.
