The conference finals of the 2012 NHL Playoffs are just beginning but odds makers are still adjusting their predictions.
Oddsmakers initially had the Penguins as the favorite to win the Stanley Cup. They were bounced in the first round by the Flyers. Then the St. Louis Blues became the favorites until they were promptly swept by the Los Angeles Kings. The Kings are the new favorite to win the Cup.
Here are the Bovada odds for the teams remaining in the NHL playoffs:
Los Angeles Kings 7/5
New York Rangers 11/5
New Jersey Devils 10/3
Phoenix Coyotes 6/1
If the prediction curse holds up, that will be good news for the Rangers and Devils. That is, until one of them wins the Eastern Conference and gets picked to win the Stanley Cup.
