NHL Stanley Cup Odds: Carolina Hurricanes favorites to repeat

On Sunday evening, the Carolina Hurricanes captured their first Stanley Cup since 2006, defeating the Vegas Golden Knights 3-0.

Now with the 2025-26 NHL season in the rearview, it's time to start making way too early predictions on who's going to home pro hockey's richest prize for the 2026-27 season. 

Currently, DAZN Bet has the Hurricanes leading the way and repeating as champions at 13/2 with the Colorado Avalanche next at 7/1, followed by the Tampa Bay Lightning at 10/1, the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers at 11/1, the Minnesota Wild at 12/1, and the Golden Knights at 13/1.

Coming into the 2025-26 season, the Hurricanes were the co-betting favorites among the American sportsbooks. Heading into next season, 12 teams have under 30/1 odds to win the Stanley Cup. Rounding the list are the Ottawa Senators at 15/1, the Dallas Stars at 18/1, the New Jersey Devils at 22/1, and the Anaheim Ducks and Montreal Canadiens at 28/1.

The teams with the least likely chance to reach the pinnacle for the next season are the Calgary Flames and Seattle Kraken at 225/1 and the Vancouver Canucks at 400/1.
