New York also has a big edge at goalie with Igor Shesterkin between the pipes, while the Penguins could be without netminder Tristan Jarry, who is dealing with a broken foot.<\/p>\n<p>The Penguins are always overvalued and that\u2019s the case again this year.

Panthers in six.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lightning (+100) vs. Maple Leafs (-120)<\/strong>: Tampa Bay goes for three straight titles, beginning with an opening-round tilt versus a red-hot offense.<\/p>\n<p>The Leafs \u2014 led by 60-goal scorer Auston Matthews \u2014 are third in goals per game and first in both faceoff-win percentage and power-play success rate.<\/p>\n<p>Toronto\u2019s struggles in the postseason are well-documented. Look for that to continue in Round 1 versus the Lightning. The defending champions advance to the next round.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hurricanes (-120) vs. Bruins (+100)<\/strong>: Two dangerous clubs meet in another toss-up series, according to oddsmakers.<\/p>\n<p>Both teams comfortably sailed over 100 points during the regular season. Carolina led the Metro with 116 points this season and is 12\/1 to win the Stanley Cup. The Bruins are 16\/1 to win the Cup, and while this series is even on paper, the Hurricanes dominated all three games this year, going 3-0 and outscoring Boston 16-1.<\/p>\n<p>Expect this series to be more competitive, but the Hurricanes take it in seven.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/rangers-hurricanes.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Carolina Hurricanes right wing Jesper Fast (71) celebrates his goal against the Arizona Coyotes with Hurricanes right wing Nino Niederreiter (21), defenseman Ethan Bear (25), and defenseman Brendan Smith, back right, during the second period of an NHL hockey game Monday, April 18, 2022, in Glendale, Ariz.\" class=\"wp-image-21950735\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/rangers-hurricanes.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/rangers-hurricanes.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/rangers-hurricanes.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/rangers-hurricanes.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Hurricanes players celebrate a goal. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Western_Conference\"><\/span>Western Conference<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Avalanche (-600) vs. Predators (+425)<\/strong>: The Avalanche are the Cup favorites across the board, ranging anywhere from +320 to +350. Colorado did falter a bit down the stretch, dropping six of seven with five of those losses in regulation.<\/p>\n<p>Will that downward trend continue in the playoffs? Not likely. Nathan MacKinnon and Co. are the most well-rounded team in the NHL and while Nashville played them tough in the regular season, expect the Avalanche to make short work of the Predators. .<\/p>\n<p><strong>Flames (-300) vs. Stars (+240)<\/strong>: It took a bit for Calgary to get going out the gate, but the Flames wound up leading the Pacific with 111 points.<\/p>\n<p>Calgary\u2019s defense has been lights-out in 2021-22, ranking top six in goals against, shots against and penalty kill.

Edmonton is a trendy pick to win the Stanley Cup at 18\/1. However, the Kings are live dogs in this series. Don\u2019t be shocked if we see an upset.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wild (-165) vs. Blues (+135)<\/strong>: Only the Panthers ($902) won bettors more money at home than the Wild ($901), by a matter of mere cents.<\/p>\n<p>The Blues took all three contests during the regular season, lighting the lamp a whopping 16 times. This is going to be one of the more competitive series with both teams sitting near 20\/1 to win the Stanley Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Taking a flier on the Blues to win in seven games at 6\/1 is a smart bet. This series looks like it\u2019s going the distance and St. Louis has value as the underdog.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
