It has been an absolutely electric start to the Stanley Cup Final and, with the series tied at a game apiece, bookmakers are tightening the championship odds. The Carolina Hurricanes are back to being favorites to hoist the Cup at -145 -- a bit longer than the -155 they had coming into the Final -- while the Vegas Golden Knights are +125 for the championship, a slight shortening from the pre-series +130. Vegas had taken the favorite role at -155 after winning Game 1.
Carolina and Vegas were two of the most favored teams by sportsbooks throughout the regular season and playoffs, with the former entering the campaign as a +750 co-favorite and the latter starting close behind at +900. The Canes were a second-best +475 at the beginning of the postseason, while the Golden Knights were a fourth best 10-1.
Vegas opened as a very slight favorite for Game 3 in Las Vegas at -112, with Carolina just behind at -108.
