What are NHL Conference Odds?
NHL Conference odds show each team's chances of winning their conference and reaching the Stanley Cup Final, with odds available throughout the season at Fanatics Sportsbook. The NHL is split into two conferences, the Eastern Conference and Western Conference, with Fanatics offering conference winner odds for both. There are 16 teams competing in each conference.
NHL Conference futures odds are available before the regular season begins and can change significantly throughout the year. Team performance, injuries, trades, roster additions, goaltending form, and playoff positioning can all influence NHL Conference betting odds.
How to Read NHL Conference Odds
NHL conference odds are typically displayed using American odds. A team listed at +600, for example, would return $600 in profit on a winning $100 bet, plus the original $100 stake. A longshot at +3000 would return $3,000 in profit on the same $100 wager.
Lower positive odds generally indicate that the sportsbook views a team as more likely to win an NHL conference. As expectations change throughout the NHL season, each team's odds can move accordingly.
How to Bet on NHL Conference Odds
To bet on NHL conferences at Fanatics Sportsbook, navigate to the NHL futures markets and select the team you think will win the Eastern or Western conference. Add the selection to your bet slip, enter your wager amount and review the potential payout before placing the bet.
NHL conference winner odds can change throughout the season, so the odds available when a wager is placed may differ from those offered later in the year.
