2027 NHL Stanley Cup Best Bet

Current Best Bet: Carolina Hurricanes

Carolina remains Lineups.com’s pick to win the Stanley Cup, and the early returns back it up: they’re 14-3-2, first in the Metro, and the defending champs after finally breaking through last spring for their first title since 2006. They’re doing it the same way they won it — Pyotr Kochetkov opened the season on a 10-game winning streak, an NHL record for the longest win streak to start a season, and he’s sitting on a .929 save percentage with two shutouts behind a roster that returns almost all of its championship core. Books have them anywhere from the outright favorite to a close second behind Colorado and Vegas, but with the league’s best record and its best goaltender riding a historic hot streak, the defending champs still look like the team to beat.

2027 NHL Stanley Cup Sleepers

Tampa Bay is the quieter contender, sitting at 11-4-2 (24 points) through 17 games, one of the best records in the league but a team that rarely gets mentioned with Carolina, Colorado, and Vegas in the Cup-favorite conversation. Minnesota is the more complete sleeper case: they’re 12-3-4 (28 points) through 19 games, getting a historic start from Kirill Kaprizov (24 points in 15 games, NHL Second Star of the Month for October) and arguably the league’s best goaltending performance from Jesper Wallstedt, who’s 10-2-3 with a .920 save percentage and leads the NHL in both goals saved above expected and wins above replacement while carrying the net with Filip Gustavsson out. Neither team is getting priced like a true top-tier threat right now, but the records and the two best individual performances backing them up say otherwise.

Tampa Bay Lightning
