2022 Stanley Cup Finals Game 1 Odds: Betting Preview, Predictions and Picks

The stage is set and the two best teams in the NHL, the Eastern Conference champion Lightning will meet the Western Conference Avalanche in a best-of-7 2022 Stanley Cup Finals series which starts in Denver on Wednesday with Game 1 (ABC, 8 pm ET/5 pm PT). 카지노사이트

Conn Smythe candidate Cole Makar and the Avalanche rallied from 5th place to 1st place in the blink of an eye in December to not only take command of the Central Division, but seemingly the entire NHL and haven’t stopped and look like a team that can’t be beaten.

With a new Goaltender and an Offense that averaged 4.30 gpg (#2), Colorado became the favorites to win the Western Conference as well as the 2022 Stanley Cup—the exact spot oddsmakers had Nathan MacKinnon and Colorado in the 2021-22 Preseason.

Two-Time Defending Champs Face Avs in a Classic Finals

Colorado swept Larry McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Edmonton and outscored the Oilers 22-13 en route to getting to this point where they can win the Stanley Cup, but it won’t come easy against a team that knows how to win titles and may be getting a key cog back.

ESPN’s Greg Wyshynski reported on Tuesday that the Lightning may get star Center Brayden Point back for Game 1, and Colorado is expected to have starting Goaltender Darcy Kuemper ready to go on Wednesday, so both teams will be near full strength.

Online oddsmakers have made Colorado -180 favorites to win the 2022 Stanley Cup (Tampa Bay +154) with Makar (+160 to win Conn Smythe) the Avalanche priced at -160 in Game #1 at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado with the Total (Over/Under) at 6o -120.

With Sports Gambling legal in 30 states in the US, online sportsbooks, the best NHL betting sites are doing record business and this Stanley Cup could be the most bet on one ever with these two iconic teams who are both deserving of an NHL championship.

Game 1 – Tampa Bay Lightning at Colorado Avalanche -165

The Avalanche (-180 to win 2022 Stanley Cup, MyBookie.ag) have been the NHL’s most dominant team since December and Colorado has gone 12-1-1 in the Postseason, eliminating Winnipeg, St, Louis, and Edmonton to get these 2022 Stanley Cup Finals.

And Nathan MacKinnon and Western Conference champion Colorado will have the Home-ice edge over Eastern Conference champions Tampa Bay (+154 to win the 2022 Stanley Cup Finals), who are seeking a three-peat and on the brink of some NHL history.

So the best two teams are here, with Tampa Bay W4 to oust the upstart Rangers in the Eastern Conference Finals, 4-2, to set up this clash of titans who are both driven psychologically by two very different internal and personal motivations.

Where does Colorado get this motivation? The Avalanche are fueled by the memories of losing to the Vegas Golden Knights last Postseason after holding a 2-0 series lead and looking destined to finally make their first Stanley Cup Finals in a very, very long time.

Colorado (32-5-4 at Home) has been absolutely fabulous at Home and will want to potent that Home-ice edge, meaning that they will have to win Game 1 and game 2 and head to Tampa Bay up 2-0 in the series. But, it is much easier to be typed on a keyboard than done.

But with new G Kuemper, Avalanche General Manager and former star Joe Sakic made a huge breakthrough and with Makar, MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen (16/1 to win 2022 Conn Smythe), Gabriel Landeskog, and Nazem Kadri, the Avalanche are totally loaded.

Colorado is the first team since the Kings in 2012 to make it to this point with just 2 Losses and the Avalanche will be very well-rested (8 Days) and have the Home-ice edge and went a dominating 32-5-4 at Home at the friendly confines of the Pepsi Center in Denver.

So Colorado remembers and is driven by the memories of the 2021 NHL Playoffs and blowing it against VGK, but what drives Nikita Kucherov (+360 to win 2022 Conn Smythe), Steven Stamkos (16/1 to win 2022 Conn Smythe) and this Lightning team?

A chance to make history, and memories of knowing that they can, and have won when they have had to over the last three seasons. And the Bolts have won 11 straight Playoff series and have the best Goaltenders in the NHL in Andrei Vasilevskiy(39-18-5).

Of handicapping note: Lightning G Vasilevskiy is a profitable 26-10-2 (+22.21 units) when playing as an Underdog, and we all know how well TB has done after a Loss in the NHL Postseason, W18 straight before losing one to NYR in the Eastern Conference Finals.
