After splitting two games on home ice to open the Eastern Conference final, the odds shifted against the Bruins. After claiming a win on enemy soil Thursday night, though, the oddsmakers are now looking more favorably on the Bruins' chances to win the Stanley Cup.
The B's opened the series with 5-to-2 odds, which changed to 3-to-1 odds after Game 2. A win in Game 3, however, has Bodog.com's odds thinking the Bruins have a slightly better shot at 2-to-1.
The B's aren't nearly the favorites, though, as the Canucks have 4-to-5 odds to hoist Lord Stanley's Cup.
If you're looking to hop aboard the Lightning train, now might be the right time. Originally given 7-to-2 odds to win the Cup, Tampa now has 13-to-2 odds.
The Sharks, meanwhile, dropped two games in Vancouver and, as a result, their odds have fallen from 3-to-1 before their series to 11-to-1.
| Team | Odds to win Stanley Cup at start of conference finals | Current Odds to win Stanley Cup |
|---|---|---|
| Bruins | 5-to-2 | 2-to-1 |
| Canucks | 17-to-10 | 4-to-5 |
| Lightning | 7-to-2 | 13-to-2 |
| Sharks | 3-to-1 | 11-to-1 |
Bodog's odds are reported as fractional odds. For example, if the Bruins' odds of winning the Stanley Cup are 2-to-1, a wager of $1 will result in a win of $2.
