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

Still among the contenders, 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.

Barkov is on long-term injured reserve and is expected to miss six to eight weeks with a lower-body injury that does not require surgery. Brad Marchand is also expected to miss six weeks with a lower-body injury. Brady joins Matthew up front, and the Panthers gave up four picks without losing a top-7 scorer. That depth matters more with their captain sidelined.

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 at +650 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. Their forward depth is being tested: Jordan Staal is out for one to two months with a calf tear, and Taylor Hall left the October 13 game with an upper-body injury.

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. William Eklund now faces a 10-to-12-week absence after ankle surgery.

2024Florida PanthersEdmonton Oilers
2023Vegas Golden KnightsFlorida Panthers
2022Colorado AvalancheTampa Bay Lightning

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 they remain near the top of the board with Florida and Colorado.
