The NHL Conference Finals are starting to look a lot like the NBA Conference Finals.
Two teams have jumped out to a 2-0 lead and will be looking to take a commanding 3-0 advantage. The Florida Panthers can do so at home by taking care of business against the Carolina Hurricanes in Monday’s Game 3, while the Vegas Golden Knights would have to claim a 3-0 advantage on the road on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars.
With the Panthers and Golden Knights just two wins away from the Stanley Cup Final, WynnBET’s betting odds have obviously adjusted. But have the odds moved too much to open up value on the Hurricanes or Stars?

NHL Eastern Conference Final Best Bet
Under 5.5 games for Hurricanes vs. Panthers (-105)
You have to get creative to find any value in the NHL futures market, which means attacking the series markets at WynnBET.
Florida picked up two road wins to start the series against the team that was the betting favorite to win the Stanley Cup prior to this round. The Panthers earned a 3-2 OT victory in Game 1 and a 2-1 OT win in Game 2.
With the series back home, the Panthers have a chance to finish the job in front of their home fans. At the very least, we see them picking up one win to take the Hurricanes out of the series. WynnBET has set the Over on 5.5 games at -118 entering Game 3, offering a nice discount for betting on a short series.
NHL Western Conference Final Best Bet
Vegas Golden Knights win series 4-1 (+255)
With a 2-0 lead, Vegas needs just one win on the road to have the opportunity to close out the series at home in Game 5. There is a reason why this correct series result is the favorite in the Western Conference Final.
The Stars are coming off back-to-back overtime losses, so they will be motivated to get in the win column in Game 3. They are even -145 favorites to win Tuesday’s showdown in Dallas.
But the Golden Knights are the better team, and are the Stanley Cup favorites for a reason. They should win one of the next two before finishing the job in Game 5.
