This page tracks the 2027 Stanley Cup odds for all 32 teams. The ink is barely dry on Carolina’s 2026 title, and the books already have next season priced. The Hurricanes open as the favorites to go back-to-back.

Carolina sits at +600 on FanDuel and +700 on DraftKings. The Colorado Avalanche are the close second choice, and a familiar group of contenders rounds out the top of the board.

Below you’ll find the latest 2027 NHL Stanley Cup odds, the top contenders, and an odds movement timeline that we’ll update through free agency, training camp, and the season.

2027 NHL Stanley Cup Odds

Opening 2027 odds reflect live FanDuel and DraftKings markets as of June 16, with BetMGM also in the mix. We update this board as prices move all summer through free agency. Sign up at FanDuel Sportsbook to bet on the 2027 Stanley Cup winner.

Carolina’s +600 price at FanDuel translates to a 14.3% implied probability of winning the Cup. Colorado is next at +700 (12.5%). That’s a tight top two, with a clear gap to the rest of the field.

The books don’t fully agree at the top. DraftKings, FanDuel and Bet365 have Carolina first, while BetMGM and Caesars give Colorado the slight edge. Either way, both teams are the class of the board.

2027 Stanley Cup Odds Movement Timeline

• [June 15]: One day after Carolina lifted the Cup, the books posted opening 2027 odds. The champs lead at +600, with Colorado +700, Tampa Bay +1000, Edmonton +1100, and a trio of Minnesota, Florida and Vegas at +1300 (FanDuel).

2027 Stanley Cup Contenders

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

Carolina Hurricanes (+600)

The champs are the favorites. 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 are a problem again.

Colorado Avalanche (+700)

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.

Some books, including BetMGM and Caesars, actually have the Avs as the favorite. They’re the safe bet to be near the top again.

The Chasing Pack

The next tier is crowded. Tampa Bay (+1000), Edmonton (+1100), Minnesota (+1300), Florida (+1300) and runner-up Vegas (+1300) all have a real case.

Florida is the wild card. The Panthers missed the 2026 playoffs after Aleksander Barkov’s knee injury, but a healthy roster could vault them right back into contention.

Recent Stanley Cup Winners

Carolina is the new champ, with two titles 20 years apart (2006 and 2026). No team has repeated since Tampa Bay went back-to-back in 2020 and 2021.

The Canes will try to buck that trend. History says it’s hard, but the books like their odds better than anyone else’s.

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.
