Two Eastern Conference teams close to clinching their playoff series have the best odds to win the Stanley Cup.

The Carolina Hurricanes, coming off a 6-1 rout of the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night, are plus-275. The Hurricanes lead the series, 3-1. That means on a $100 bet, you would win $275 if the Hurricanes win the Cup.

Pennsylvania Betting Sites provide many outlets to get a wager down on the world’s greatest tournament.

The Florida Panthers, holding a 3-0 series lead over Toronto, is plus-355.

The Panthers have been the surprise of the playoffs. Florida eliminated Boston in seven games in the first round. Florida won the deciding game in overtime.

The Bruins roared through the regular season with an NHL-record 65 victories and 135 points. The Panthers had the fewest number of points among the playoff qualifiers. Florida was 42-32-8 for 92 points, squeezing into the playoffs in the final days of the season.

Not many experts expected the Panthers to stay with the Bruins. But the Panthers are hot at the right time.

Sitting at plus-425 are the Edmonton Oilers, trailing 2-1 in their series with the Vegas Golden Knights (plus-450).

The Dallas Stars’ series with the Seattle Kraken is tied at 2-2 but the odds difference is gaping. The Stars are plus-550 while the Kraken are plus-1600.

The Devils, facing an uphill climb against Carolina, is plus-1800 and the Maple Leafs are plus-2500. The Maple Leafs can be eliminated tonight at Florida.

Colorado, last year’s Cup champions, was plus-325 before the playoffs began.
