I have taken the best odds from sites offering NHL division betting odds. Please contact me privately if you would like to know which site is offering a specific bet. Sites offering division odds are: 5Dimes, Expekt, Gamebookers, Intertops, Ladbrokes, Sportingbet, Stan James, Unibet
Eastern Conference
Atlantic Division
Team………………………………Odds
Pittsburgh Penguins…………..-125
Philadelphia Flyers……………+320
New Jersey Devils……………..+700
New York Rangers…………….+750
New York Islanders……………+6600
Ari’s take – Philly +320: While the Pens are the best team in the division, do they really have >55% to win this division? If they get solid goaltending the Flyers could emerge as the best team in the Conference – I would take them at +320 to win the division.
Northeast Division
Team………………………………Odds
Boston Bruins……………………-120
Montreal Canadiens……………+500
Ottawa Senators………………..+550
Buffalo Sabres…………………..+700
Toronto Maple Leafs…………..+1300
Ari’s take – Boston -120: How can the Leafs only be +1300? Boston is the class of this division and should win it handily. It will take a major success story from one of the other four teams to contend for the Northeast.
Southeast Division
Team………………………………Odds
Washington Capitals…………..-182
Carolina Hurricanes……………+350
Florida Panthers………………..+1100
Tampa Bay Lightning………….+1200
Atlanta Thrashers……………….+3300
Ari’s take – pass: It seems like Washington is a lock to win the division, but at -182 it’s not worth it. Carolina finished strongly last year and the Caps do have a question mark in net to start the season.
Western Conference
Central Division
Team………………………………Odds
Detroit Red Wings……………..+115
Chicago Blackhawks…………..+160
St. Louis Blues…………………..+1100
Columbus Blue Jackets………..+1700
Nashville Predators…………….+3000
Ari’s take – Detroit +115, Nashville +3000: Detroit was -667 to win the division last year. They are older and facing a much improved division, but at +115 I can’t pass it up. The Preds have a strong blue-line and an excellent goaltender. They will almost certainly lose the division, but at +3000 it’s worth a try.
Northwest Division
Team………………………………Odds
Calgary Flames………………….+155
Vancouver Canucks…………….+160
Edmonton Oilers………………..+550
Minnesota Wild…………………+1000
Colorado Avalanche……………+5000
Ari’s take – pass: I like Calgary to win the division, but not at +155. Maybe the Wild at +1000 offer value on the strength of their goaltending. I would (as I usually do) leave this division alone for betting purposes.
Pacific Division
Team………………………………Odds
San Jose Sharks…………………-154
Anaheim Ducks…………………+300
Dallas Stars………………………+1000
Los Angeles Kings………………+1000
Phoenix Coyotes…………………+6600
Ari’s take – San Jose -154: The Sharks were already heavy favorites before they added Heatley. Can’t see anyone else competing – maybe the Ducks but San Jose should be the favorites for the President’s trophy.
