Game markets

Each game uses standard hockey markets — the moneyline, puck line and totals — from our ice hockey betting guide.

Series markets

Because each round is best-of-seven, you can bet the series winner and the correct series score.

Example. A 'series 4-2' bet wins only if that team wins the series exactly four games to two.

Outright champion

The outright Stanley Cup winner market runs through the playoffs, with prices shifting as teams advance or are eliminated.

Bet responsibly

The playoffs run over weeks with many games, so set limits — see responsible gambling tools.
