2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs Betting Online
The Western Conference champion Edmonton Oilers will face the Eastern Conference champion Florida Panthers in the 2024 Stanley Cup Final. Florida is coming off its second consecutive Eastern Conference Final championship. Last year, the Panthers lost the Stanley Cup Final 4-1 to the Vegas Golden Knights. By contrast, the Edmonton Oilers are in the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 2006. Florida has never won the Stanley Cup since joining the NHL in 1993. Edmonton has five Stanley Cup titles, which were won during their dynasty era of the 1980s.
Florida has opened as a small favorite to win the 2024 Stanley Cup Final. Much of that is based on the familiarity of the public with Florida, who is in their second consecutive Stanley Cup Final. But Edmonton has the public appeal of having the NHL’s marquee man, Connor McDavid.

Eastern Conference Finals
(1) Florida Panthers vs. (1M) New York Rangers - FLA Wins 4-2
The Florida Panthers left no doubt that they were the best team in the Eastern Conference. In the first round, the Panthers eliminated their intrastate rival Tampa Bay Lightning 4-1. Tampa Bay’s best days are behind it, and the Panthers showed superior depth and youth.
In the second round, the Panthers eliminated the Boston Bruins 4-2. It was the second consecutive year that the Panthers took out the Bruins in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Boston was a strong regular season club, but its increasing age and lack of secondary scoring depth proved its downfall.
In the third round, the Panthers impressed everyone with a 4-2 series win over the highly skilled New York Rangers. The difference in the series was Florida’s physicality and heavier brand of hockey.
