Johnny Avello<\/a> said there\u2019s been a noticeable shift in Golden Knights\u2019 Stanley futures since the Tortorella move.<\/p>\nSince March 29, the Golden Knights\u2019 Cup winner futures went from +1500 to +900, and Campbell Conference futures went from +650 to +425.<\/p>\n
+900 to Win the Cup<\/p>\n
Since Vegas made the coaching change and sparked this run, we\u2019ve seen a clear uptick in action on the Golden Knights,\u201d he said. \u201cThey were once in danger of missing the postseason, but now sit at +900 to win the Stanley Cup. As the team heated up, so did the betting interest.\u201d<\/p>\n
A point earned by the Oilers tonight will give them second place in the division. If the first round of the playoffs started tonight, the Golden Knights would host the Utah Mammoth. But the Golden Knights could find themselves against the Oilers, Ducks or Kings, depending on what happens tonight.<\/p>\n
The Vegas Golden Knights have been an awesome story in the NHL, winning the Pacific Division for the third time in four seasons,\u201d said Ethan Useloff, Sports Trader for Fanatics Sportsbook. \u201cEach of these years began with Bruce Cassidy at the helm, but he was let go on March 29th following a skid. The Knights were looking at an unlikely +3000 price to win the division.<\/p>\n
\nOilers Looking to Take Second Place\n<\/p>\n
\u201cIn stepped John Tortorella,\u201d he said. \u00a0\u201cSince taking over, Tortorella has elevated the team\u2019s play to the tune of 7-0-1, securing 15 of a possible 16 points in these eight contests. They have become one of the most popular teams to bet on with this recent surge, and the squad shortened all the way to -450 to win the division before facing off with Seattle Wednesday evening. Vegas hopes this hot stretch can bring home their second championship in four seasons, with odds of +500 to win the Western Conference and +1200 to hoist the Cup.\u201d<\/p>\n
