2025-26 NHL Western Conference Finals Odds

Two At The Top

The Edmonton Oilers have won the past two West titles. But they haven't been able to parlay those into a single Stanley Cup Final victory, losing to Florida each of the past two seasons.

However, the talent is undeniable, so BetMGM has Edmonton as a +360 co-favorite in 2026 NHL Western Conference futures odds. The Colorado Avalanche, ousted in the first round of the 2025 playoffs, are also +360.

Not far behind are the Vegas Golden Knights (+525) and Dallas Stars (+550). Then odds drop to +1050 for the fifth choice Los Angeles Kings.
