The Tampa Bay Lightning are the odds-on favorites to win the Stanley Cup, according to pre-playoff odds from the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook. The Lightning enter the postseason at 2-1 after finishing the regular season 21 points ahead of the next closest team in the league's final standings.

The Tampa Bay Lightning won their NHL record-tying 62nd game, getting a shorthanded goal by Steven Stamkos during a three-goal second period in their 6-3 victory over the Boston Bruins on Saturday in the teams' regular-season finale.
