Betting on the Stanley Cup is not the only way to play NHL futures. Sportsbooks post odds to win each conference all season long, and those numbers move with every hot streak, slump, trade and injury.
This tracker follows all 32 teams’ odds to win their conference, split along East/West lines. Carolina opens as the Eastern favorite at +300 after taking the 2026 conference title, with Florida right behind at +320. Out West, it’s a logjam: Colorado (+320) noses ahead of Edmonton (+425) and defending conference champion Vegas (+475).

2027 NHL Eastern Conference Champion Odds Movement Timeline
- Offseason – Carolina opens on top of the East at +300, just ahead of Florida (+320). Tampa Bay (+600) and Washington (+900) headline the next tier, with Montreal (+1300) the only other team inside +1500.

*Note: the current playoff seeding process was adopted in the 2014 playoffs.
Carolina finally broke through in 2026, ending Florida’s three-year grip on the East with a five-game win over Montreal in the conference final. The Hurricanes topped the Metropolitan at 113 points and now carry favorite status into the new season.
Florida’s price (+320) is all reputation. The Panthers slipped to 84 points and out of the picture in 2025-26, but the market still trusts a core that reached three straight conference finals to reload. Tampa Bay, at +600, remains the East’s steadiest bet.

2027 NHL Western Conference Champion Favorites
2027 NHL Western Conference Champion Odds
NHL Western Conference odds above are updated every 15-60 minutes.
- Offseason – Colorado opens as the West favorite at +320, with Edmonton (+425) and defending conference champion Vegas (+475) right behind. Minnesota (+650) and Dallas (+700) round out the top five.
Past 10 NHL Western Conference Champions
*Note: the current playoff seeding process was adopted in the 2014 playoffs. The 2021 season featured realigned divisions due to COVID-19.
The Western Conference has run through Edmonton and Vegas, who have combined for four of the last five titles. Vegas got the latest one, sweeping Colorado in the 2026 final on the way to a Pacific-topping season, while Edmonton went back-to-back in 2024 and 2025.
Colorado is the odd team out despite being the best regular-season club in hockey. The Avalanche piled up a league-high 121 points in 2025-26 and still opened 2026-27 as the West favorite at +320, betting that a healthy roster finally gets them past the Knights and Oilers in the spring.
NHL Conference Championship Trends
- The East changed hands in 2026: Florida won three straight conference titles (2023-2025) before Carolina broke through, beating Montreal in five games.
- The West belongs to two teams: Edmonton and Vegas have taken four of the last five conference crowns (Oilers 2024-2025, Knights 2023 and 2026), with Colorado’s 2022 run the only exception.
- Regular-season dominance is no guarantee: Colorado’s league-best 121 points in 2025-26 ended in a four-game sweep by Vegas in the conference final.
- Reigning champs stay dangerous: both Florida and Edmonton reached multiple straight finals, so defending winners Carolina and Vegas can’t be written off at their prices.
