2020 Stanley Cup odds: Bruins, Golden Knights lead latest odds after NHL releases updated postseason - CBS Sports

The NHL became the first major American sports league to announce its intention to return with live sports play on Tuesday. While fans might have to wait a bit for the action to fully return, there's at least a plan in place for the season to resume in this calendar year.

The plan in question is one that foregoes the remainder of the regular season and jumps straight to the postseason--a 24-team pool for the Stanley Cup, to be exact. With that news in mind, it means that there's going to be new odds on which of the 24 playoff-bound teams has the best chance to lift that famed cup over their head on the ice.

Unsurprisingly to those who paid attention to the season, the odds are particularly sympathetic to the Boston Bruins at +550. At the time that the NHL announced it was going to put its schedule on pause because of the coronavirus pandemic, the Bruins were leading the NHL with 100 total points on the season. 

Tied with Boston are the Vegas Golden Knights, who also boast +550 odds to win it all, and were third in the Western Conference in total points at the time of suspension, with 82. Ahead of them were last year's Stanley Cup champions, the St. Louis Blues (94 points), and the Colorado Avalanche (92 points). The Blues sit at +800 while the Avalanche sit at +850.
