Are The Panthers Legit Stanley Cup Contenders?

<p>The Carolina Hurricanes have emerged as the odds-on favorite to win the Eastern Conference, with the Boston Bruins experiencing an early playoff exit.</p>
<p>Below are the current odds to win the Eastern Conference on the <a tabindex="0" href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/nhl?tab=team-futures" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;destination&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;b&quot;:1,&quot;c.t&quot;:7}">FanDuel Sportsbook</a>.</p>
<h3><strong>1. Carolina Hurricanes +120 </strong></h3>
<p>The Carolina Hurricanes have put on a clinic through two games against the New Jersey Devils. The Canes are dealing with injuries to key players, showcasing their depth and resilient team game. Carolina has a relentless forecheck and makes few errors. They don&#8217;t exhibit flashy skills but know how to get the job done. The Hurricanes are the odds-on favorite to win the Eastern Conference at +120. </p>
<h3><strong>2. Florida Panthers +200</strong></h3>
<p>After stunning the hockey world by taking down the Presidents&#8217; Trophy-winning Boston Bruins, the Florida Panthers have continued to play the role of spoiler in Round 2, taking a 2-0 lead on the road against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Florida has a gritty but skillful forward group that has surprised teams. Goaltender <a href="https://www.numberfire.com/nhl/players/sergei-bobrovsky">Sergei Bobrovsky</a> is playing like the netminder they paid him to be, but questions remain concerning how long that will last. Still, the Panthers boast +200 odds and are a real threat to win the East. </p>
<h3><strong>3. Toronto Maple Leafs +460</strong></h3>
<p>The Toronto Maple Leafs got over their first-round hump against the Tampa Bay Lightning and were listed as the odds-on favorite to win the Stanley Cup entering the second round. Despite outplaying the Panthers in two games, the Maple Leafs trail 2-0 in the series. With Toronto not getting the results on the scoreboard, they&#8217;ve created value in the Eastern Conference. The Leafs hold +460 odds to win the East, and it&#8217;s best to buy into this number ahead of Game 3 on Sunday. </p>
<h3><strong>4. New Jersey Devils +650</strong></h3>
<p>The Devils have been completely lifeless through two games in the second round. The Hurricanes deserve a lot of credit, but the Devils have too much talent to be outscored 11-2 through two games. After a magical run by <a href="https://www.numberfire.com/nhl/players/akira-schmid">Akira Schmid</a> against the New York Rangers, the rookie goalie has looked human, a significant problem for a team with goaltending issues. The Devils lost the first two games in their series against the Rangers, so not all is lost. However, Game 3 is a must-win on Sunday. New Jersey holds the longest odds to win the Eastern Conference at +650.  </p>
