2027 Stanley Cup Contenders

Here’s a look at the top of the 2027 board and why each team sits where it does:

Florida Panthers

The favorites, and don’t forget who they are. Florida won back-to-back Cups in 2024 and 2025 and reached three straight Finals before a brutal 2026. Barkov tore his ACL and MCL on the first day of camp and missed the whole season, and the banged-up Panthers went 40-38-4 and missed the playoffs.

Now Barkov is healthy and Brady joins Matthew up front. The Panthers gave up four picks but didn’t lose a top-7 scorer. A rested, loaded roster is why the books moved them to the top so fast.

Colorado Avalanche

Colorado won the Presidents’ Trophy in 2026 before getting swept by Vegas in the conference final. The talent is still elite, led by Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar.

The Avs sit behind Florida and Carolina at +750 at FanDuel and +700 at DraftKings. They’re the safe bet to be near the top again all season.

Carolina Hurricanes

The champs are right there. Carolina won 16 of 19 playoff games in 2026, the fewest games needed to win the Cup since the 1988 Oilers. Most of the core is locked up.

Rookie goalie Brandon Bussi changed everything in net. If he carries his playoff form into a full season, the Canes can go back-to-back.

The Chasing Pack

The next tier is crowded. Edmonton and runner-up Vegas lead the chasing group, with Washington, Minnesota and Tampa Bay also in contention.

Ottawa is the big mover the other way. Trading Brady Tkachuk pushed the Senators well outside the top tier.

Recent Stanley Cup Winners

Carolina is the new champ, with two titles 20 years apart (2006 and 2026). The last repeat champ was Florida, which won back-to-back in 2024 and 2025 before missing the 2026 playoffs.

The Canes will try to buck that trend. History says it’s hard, and now they share the top of the board with Florida and Colorado.

NHL Teams Searching for Their First Stanley Cup

Ten franchises are still chasing their first Cup. Vancouver and Buffalo have come closest, each with multiple Final trips but no title. Utah and Seattle are the newcomers still building toward a run.

Canadian Stanley Cup Winners

Canada’s Cup drought hit 33 years this spring. Montreal came closest in 2026, reaching the conference final before Carolina ended the run. The last Canadian champ was the 1993 Canadiens.
