Canadian Teams Favored to Win 2023 Stanley Cup

(SportsBetting.ag News Wire) - With Boston and Colorado ousted from the playoffs last night, the Stanley Cup now goes through Canada, at least according to the odds.

The two Cup favorites are now Toronto and Edmonton at SportsBetting.ag.

The Leafs came into the playoffs with the fourth-best championship odds at 10-1. Their highest odds all season were 16-1 back in mid-November.

As mentioned at the postseason outset, the Oilers pose the largest liability to the book in terms of losses if they take the West and Stanley Cup. They had the third-lowest odds coming into the playoffs (7-1), and were as high as 25-1 during the regular season on January 23.

A Canadian team hasn't lifted Lord Stanley's Cup since the 1993 campaign when the Canadiens defeated the Kings in five games.

So, that got the number-crunchers thinking...what ARE the chances that one of the two favorites, the only two Canadian clubs left in the tourney, hoist the chalice in five weeks? Well, the below odds imply just better than a 41% probability the Leafs or Oilers will take home this year's title.

A team from which country will win the Stanley Cup?
