Your Teams
The Tampa Bay Lightning are the reigning Stanley Cup champions. This is their second Championship win, the first being in 2004.
From Wikipedia:
Victor Hedman was named the Conn Smythe Trophy winner as the MVP of the playoffs, having recorded 22 points on 10 goals and 12 assists. Nikita Kucherov set a new franchise record for points in a single playoff season with 34, and also became the franchise leader for playoff goals, assists, and points. The team set a league record with over 221 minutes played in overtime periods alone.[62] They also became the first team in league history to have three series-winning goals in overtime.[63] Andrei Vasilevskiy surpassed both former Lightning goalies Ben Bishop and Nikolai Khabibulin to become the franchise leader in playoff games played and playoff games won.
The Lightning owned one of the best records in the league heading into Mid-February. They would pay out $800 for every $100 bet to win the 2021 Stanley Cup Championship.
From NBC Sports:
Expectations were high for the Panthers entering the 2019-20 season thanks to the hiring of Joel Quenneville and another busy offseason that was highlighted by the signing of free agent goalie Sergei Bobrovsky. While the offense was very good, the defensive shortcomings and an awful season from Bobrovsky would have left the Panthers in a familiar spot in a normal season — on the outside of the playoffs. They did end up playing in the league’s Return To Play, but lost the play-in round to the New York Islanders in four games.
The temporary division realignment for 2021 puts them into a situation where Boston and Toronto (two of the teams that have consistently finished ahead of them) are not in their division to finish ahead of them. That is not to say it is going to be an easy path to the playoffs, but their offensive potential combined with an improved Bobrovsky could get them in a top-four spot in the division and back in the playoffs.
Their odds of winning the 2021 Stanley Cup were set at 28-1 (February 11).
