With Wednesday night being a quieter night in the NHL, we thought it might be a good opportunity to take a step back and re-evaluate the Stanley Cup futures market. Here are three teams who, based on our projections, have a legitimate shot at hoisting hockey’s Holy Grail.
If Sidney Crosby's performance last night didn’t inspire belief, this bet isn’t for you. In Crosby’s absence, we saw how good the Penguins are. Without Crosby, inarguably one of the game’s premier players, Pittsburgh managed to compile an 18-6-4 record, charging up the Metropolitan Division standings. So you have to like their chances with him back in the lineup.
