With just four teams remaining in the Stanley Cup playoffs, here are the best betting opportunities available right now:

New York Rangers (+650)

  • Strong 52-24-6 regular season record
  • Home ice advantage over Tampa Bay
  • Elite goaltender Igor Shesterkin (.928 save percentage, ~34 saves/game in playoffs)
  • Top playoff performers in Mika Zibanejad and Adam Fox
  • Value pick to dethrone two-time defending champion Lightning

Connor McDavid Conn Smythe Trophy (+1100)

  • NHL's best player leads playoffs with 29 points in 13 games
  • On pace for historic postseason point total
  • Could break Wayne Gretzky's record (47 points)
  • Injury to Avalanche goalie Kuemper opens window for Oilers
  • Could win trophy even if Oilers don't win Cup (5 previous winners on losing teams)
