The Carolina Hurricanes lead the early 2026 Stanley Cup odds at +750, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. The Edmonton Oilers follow closely at +800, with the Tampa Bay Lightning at +850. The Florida Panthers, reigning champions after back-to-back titles in 2024 and 2025, sit at +1000, looking to three-peat. Sam Bennett, who scored 15 goals last postseason, made history as the first Panther to win the Conn Smythe Trophy. Connor McDavid of the Oilers took the award last year. Notably, no team has achieved a three-peat since the New York Islanders from 1980 to 1983. At the bottom of the odds are the San Jose Sharks and Chicago Blackhawks, both at +50000. Betting lines are heating up as the NHL season progresses.
