In 2022, the Eastern Conference was won by the Tampa Bay Lightning. This was their third straight trip to the Stanley Cup Final, and the firstone they lost since 2015.
The odds last season saw the Lightning a lot higher on the list, as they were the defending champions. However, even with three straight Eastern Conference titles, Tampa is trailing a couple teams that have made runs at dethroning them the past few seasons.
The lines in the East are a lot tighter this season, and the competition is set to be fierce throughout the year. Five teams have lines shorter than +1000, and the top three t eams are separated by a mere 50 points.
