Capitals remain odds-on favorites to win Stanley Cup
by from on (#19EPT)
Having already clinched the Presidents' Trophy and home-ice advantage throughout the playoffs, it should come as no surprise that the Washington Capitals are favored to win the Stanley Cup in June.
Their odds of winning the East were boosted by a tumble down the board by the injury-riddled Tampa Bay Lightning, although the red-hot Pittsburgh Penguins may have something to say about that.
The Los Angeles Kings and Chicago Blackhawks lead the way out West, while the best value on the board comes from the team with the lowest odds in the conference, the Nashville Predators.
Here's a look at the entire field:
| Team | Odds |

| Washington Capitals | 17/4 |
| Los Angeles Kings | 7/1 |
| Chicago Blackhawks | 15/2 |
| Anaheim Ducks | 8/1 |
| Dallas Stars | 9/1 |
| Pittsburgh Penguins | 9/1 |
