With just three teams remaining in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, here are the best betting options for the Stanley Cup Final futures:

New York Rangers to Win Stanley Cup (+650)

The Rangers offer excellent value at +650, significantly behind Tampa Bay (+300) and Colorado (-213). Key factors supporting this bet:

  • Two of their remaining games against Tampa are at home
  • Elite goaltender Igor Shesterkin can shut down any offense
  • Colorado has notable injuries affecting their depth
  • Rangers' talent level matches both remaining opponents

Steven Stamkos to Win Conn Smythe (+2300)

If Tampa advances, Stamkos presents tremendous value for the playoff MVP at +2300:

  • Heating up with goals in 3 of 4 games vs Rangers
  • Coming off career-best regular season (42 goals, 106 points)
  • Tampa's previous Conn Smythe winners were defense/goalie
  • Currently has 7 goals and 6 assists this postseason
  • Strong veteran presence and leadership
