The Stanley Cup playoffs are right around the corner.

The latest: The Carolina Hurricanes have vaulted themselves into the top spot on the odds leaderboard. For those mining for some longer odds, the Tampa Bay Lightning remain an intriguing dark horse.

Check out the latest Stanley Cup odds as of April 11.

Best odds to win the Stanley Cup

The favourite: Carolina Hurricanes (+650)

It's a little surprising to see Carolina holding down the best odds to win the Cup, I must say.

The Hurricanes are playing fine hockey, winning seven of their last 10 games. But they look destined to finish second in the Metropolitan Division, which means they'll likely won't have home-ice advantage for the entire postseason.

There are also fair questions about the team's goaltending. Frederik Andersen (.931 save percentage) and Pyotr Kochetkov (.911) have been a formidable duo, but it's one that lacks playoff experience.

Andersen's success is based on a pretty limited sample size with just 15 games under his belt this season.

The Canes have crashed out of past postseasons, but they'll aim to finish the job in 2024.

Other odds to win the Stanley Cup

Best value: Tampa Bay Lightning (+2,000)

Watch out for Tampa Bay. The Lightning seem to be saving their best hockey for when it matters most.

They've won 11 of their last 14 games as they storm into the postseason. They likely won't move out of a wild-card spot, but the Bolts are surely the team all the top contenders want to avoid.

Nikita Kucherov is once again quietly going about his business. He leads the team (and league) with 139 points in 77 games, sitting 53 points ahead of second-placed Brayden Point (86).

Andrei Vasilevskiy's .901 save percentage is a far cry from previous campaigns, but he's turning it around. He has a respectable .922 save percentage in his last 12 outings.

The Canadian teams

There's plenty of Canadian content at the top of the odds leaderboard. Here's what some of the top contenders are up to.

  • It looks like a familiar foe will be waiting for the Edmonton Oilers in the postseason, we just don't know which one. Edmonton will likely face the Los Angeles Kings or Vegas Golden Knights in the first round.
  • Thatcher Demko's absence and a dip from the Vancouver Canucks' top offensive performers have the team's Pacific-Division lead slipping.
  • The Winnipeg Jets are likely battling the Colorado Avalanche in the first round. But which team will earn home-ice advantage? That question still needs to be answered.
  • The Toronto Maple Leafs are staring down a probable first-round matchup with the Florida Panthers. Can they exact revenge on the team that knocked them out last year?
