With the Dallas Stars loss to the Calgary Flames in Game 7 of the first round in the 2022 Stanley Cup playoffs, there wouldn’t be a repeat Western Conference champion for the 12th straight year – not including the non-traditional playoffs in 2021.
The Colorado Avalanche will attempt to end that streak this season as they seek a second straight conference championship. And they’re among the favorites in NHL betting.
Here are updated Western Conference odds and public betting (as of Sept. 29):
