Fresh off the Pittsburgh Penguins winning their second straight Stanley Cup, they're already installed as favorites for a repeat.
Oddsshark provided the initial odds for the 2017-18 Stanley Cup winner, with the Penguins coming in as the favorite at 9-1. The Edmonton Oilers and Washington Capitals are second favorites at 10-1, while a group of four teams, highlighted by the runner-up Nashville Predators, are sitting at 14-1.
Pittsburgh repeated as Stanley Cup champions Sunday night with a 2-0 win over the Predators in Nashville. Patric Hornqvist and Carl Hagelin scored a pair of goals in the final two minutes to break a game that had been in a scoreless deadlock for nearly an hour of playing time.
