The odds of the Kings winning the Stanley Cup championship opened at 12/1 on Sept. 30, but were up to 16/1, according to Las Vegas oddsmaker Bovada. The Kings’ ninth-place standing in the Western Conference as of Tuesday morning might have had something to do with the adjustment. The Pittsburgh Penguins were installed as 6/1 favorites in the latest line, with the Chicago Blackhawks and San Jose Sharks next at 15/2 and the Colorado Avalanche following at 10/1.
