• All Remaining Teams
• All Playoff Teams

• [May 15]: After ousting the Kings in a thrilling Game 7, the Oilers have improved to +450 to win the West. Colorado’s odds have shortened even further to -120.
• [May 10]: Colorado is officially the odds-on Western Conference favorite at -103. It helps that every other series is tied at 2-2 (and destined to go at least six games). The Avs will get significantly more rest than the rest of the conference. Calgary improved to +355 after evening its series with Dallas.
• [May 8]: Holding a 3-0 lead over Nashville in the first round, the Avalanche (+110) are almost even-money to win the West. Down 2-1 to Dallas, Calgary has faded to +450 but remains the second-favorite for now.
• [May 1]: The Avalanche will begin the playoffs are big favorites to win the West, as short as +130 at some sportsbooks.
• [Apr 19]: Anaheim, Chicago, and San Jose all fall off the board while Vancouver and Winnipeg, with Western Conference odds respectively sitting at +10000 and +25000, are still holding on with just six games remaining.
• [Apr 1]: The Golden Knights’ odds to capture the Western Conference are the longest they’ve been all season, with some books now offering Vegas at +1000.
• [Feb 23]: The Flames currently have the third best odds to win the West. However, they are ahead of Vegas in the Pacific Division standings, so at +650 I think Calgary is worth a sprinkle for Canada online sports bettors.
• [Feb 3]: The Avalanche remain favored in the Western Conference odds. The Los Angeles Kings have made a big move in the West, going from +5350 to +1950 since early December.
• [Jan 11]: Vegas and Colorado are the top two favorites in the West again. The Wild and Flames’ odds have worsened since the COVID-19 pause.
