The Golden Knights topped the Ducks in six games on Thursday night, locking them into a Western Conference Final matchup against the Avalanche, who topped the Wild in five games on Wednesday night. Game 1 is scheduled for Wednesday, May 20, at 8:00 p.m. ET.

Let’s take a look at the opening odds on DraftKings Sportsbook for Avalanche vs. Golden Knights.

Avalanche vs. Golden Knights Opening Odds

Looking at the odds, the Presidents’ Trophy winners are -260 favorites to win the series and advance to the Stanley Cup Final, while the Golden Knights are +210 underdogs. Vegas handled each of its first two series in six games, topping Utah in the first round and Anaheim in the second round. Colorado swept Los Angeles in the first round and beat Minnesota in five games in the second round.

This series should be pure cinema, considering these two teams have played postseason hockey in eight of the last nine seasons, with the Golden Knights missing the mark in the 2021-22 season. The offensive firepower and depth is strong on both sides, and these teams are no strangers to massive playoff series. Colorado went 2-0-1 against Vegas during the regular season, and both teams were hot in April before entering the postseason.

Looking even further at futures odds on DraftKings Sportsbook, Colorado is the favorite at +130 odds to hoist the Stanley Cup for the first time since the 2021-22 season, with Vegas checking in with the third-best odds behind Carolina at +600.
