The Edmonton Oilers are the Stanley Cup betting favorites and also have the highest point total of 107.5 at FanDuel.
The Oilers, led by preseason Hart Trophy favorite Connor McDavid (+150 odds), came within one win of the title last year. Edmonton rallied from a 3-0 series deficit in the Stanley Cup Final but lost Game 7 to the Florida Panthers.
The Colorado Avalanche (104.5) have the second-highest point total. The Avalanche won the Stanley Cup in 2022 but have failed to make it past the second round in each of the past two years. The defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers (103.5) hold the third-highest point total.
Last year’s Presidents’ Trophy winner, the New York Rangers, sit at 100.5 for their season point total.
Here’s a look at where the top contending teams stand in their preseason point totals:
