The Toronto Maple Leafs entered Friday with a 2-0 lead over the defending-champion Florida Panthers, but the Panthers clawed a win back thanks to an OT game-winner from Brad Marchand. With the series now 2-1, these two teams will meet in Game 4 on Sunday at 7:30 p.m.
In the other Eastern semi, the top-seeded Washington Capitals fell to the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 1 after Jaccob Slavin's OT goal, but Tom Wilson and crew struck back in Game 2. Despite having the conference's best record, the Capitals have the longest odds of the remaining teams to win the Eastern Conference. Game 3 is Saturday at 6 p.m.
The Edmonton Oilers scored three third-period goals to win their fifth straight game after trailing early, taking Game 1 from the Vegas Golden Knights. The magic continued in Game 2, when Leon Draisaitl buried the game-winner in OT. Connor McDavid is the current favorite to win the Conn Smythe Trophy for playoff MVP, which would be his second in a row.
The Dallas Stars took a 1-0 lead over the Presidents' Trophy-winning Winnipeg Jets on the strength of Mikko Rantanen's second hat trick in as many games in Game 1, but then Vezina-favorite Connor Hellebuyck struck back with a shutout in Game 2 to even the series at one apiece. The Stars sit right behind the Oilers in the odds to win the Western Conference, with Rantanen second in the Conn Smythe odds.
Below, you can see all of the top favorites for Conn Smythe, as well as the odds for every team to win their current series, advance to, and to win the Stanley Cup.
