Last week, knowledgeable reader, I asked you two questions. First, at what point in the season does a team’s record reflect their probability to win the Stanley Cup? Second, if that point is right now, then based on the odds I’ve posted today where is the value?

Seven points separate second place and thirteenth place in the Western Conference. If you don’t have any long-shot futures on Chicago, Columbus, St. Louis, or Nashville, don’t worry! There will be plenty of opportunities throughout the season to find value.

Teams to watch:

Though Columbus has cooled down lately, they play 11 of 14 at home and yesterday finished a 5-game homestand 2-1-2. The Blue Jackets are available at +10000 at Carib to win the Stanley Cup.

St. Louis has the third best points-per-game in the Conference. The health of goaltender Manny Legace, however, is a concern. The Blues are available at +6000 at Centrebet

Watch out for Calgary. Out of a playoff spot with an six-game road trip looming a few days ago, key wins in Chicago and Florida have them back to .500. If they can pick up a few more wins on their trip Calgary could find themselves in a playoff spot when they get home. The Flames are available at +4300 at betfair.

For illegal curve, I’m Ari Baum-Cohen

About the writer: Ari-Baum Cohen’s first sports betting victory came at age 8 when he won his father’s office pool. He screamed like a 14 year-old girl at a Justin Timberlake concert when Tampa Bay (had at +3500 to win Cup) and Calgary (had at +15000 to win Cup) made the Stanley Cup finals.
