3 of the top 4 teams from the Metro, and either NY team could be Pittsburgh's first round matchup. Also: lots of people from Canada bet on Montreal.

Nashville Predators 4/1

Los Angeles Kings 11/2
St. Louis Blues 11/2

St. Louis at 11/2 might be the value play of the day..
Divisional Odds
Odds to Win the 2014 Atlantic Division
Montreal Canadiens 1/2
Detroit Red Wings 10/3
Tampa Bay Lightning 10/3
Vegas says it's all but in hand for MTL, but Detroit is only down 6 points with 2 games-in-hand on them. If they win both those games, they're only 2 points back with 19 games left to play. Really good odds laid out for that.
Odds to win the 2014 Metropolitan Division
New York Rangers 3/2
New York Islanders 7/4
Pittsburgh Penguins 5/2
Washington Capitals 12/1
This looks about right. NYR is in the driver seat now.
Odds to Win the 2014 Central Division
Nashville Predators 4/9
St. Louis Blues 2/1
Chicago Blackhawks 10/1
STL is 4 points back with 1 game-in-hand. We'd take that with those odds.
Awards Odds
Who will win the 2014 Hart Memorial Trophy as the NHL’s Most Valuable Player?
Carey Price
2/1 Alex Ovechkin
3/1 John Tavares
7/2 Sidney Crosby
15/4 Ryan Getzlaf
15/2 Jakub Voracek
19/2 Nicklas Backstrom 12/1
Pekka Rinne
25/1 Rick Nash
30/1 Vladimir Tarasenko 30/1
Crosby is really low, considering he's got the best points/game in the league, is possible/probable to win another scoring title if he doesn't get hurt and is the reigning MVP. Because he's not as dominant as he was last year, will the voters hold it against him? Vegas is tempting you to take Crosby here.
Who will win the Calder Memorial Trophy as the NHL’s Rookie of the Year?
Filip Forsberg
5/8 Johnny Gaudreau 5/2
Aaron Ekblad
10/3 Michael Hutchinson 19/2
Mark Stone
14/1 Mike Hoffman
15/1 Anders Lee
18/1
Forsberg won't lose this one.
Who will win the Vezina Trophy for being the NHL’s top Goaltender?
Carey Price (MON) 5/14
Pekka Rinne (NAS) 8/5
Marc Andre Fleury (PIT) 18/1
Braden Holtby (WAS) 26/1
Good odds on Fleury but Price is now the overwhelming betting favorite. And given his recent numbers, probably won't be topped unless he gets injured.
Who will win the James Norris Trophy as the NHL’s best defenseman?
Shea Weber
7/4 Kris Letang
4/1 Drew Doughty
4/1 Duncan Keith
5/1 Kevin Shattenkirk
6/1 P K Subban
13/2 Ryan Suter
7/1 Erik Karlsson
12/1
The injury to Mark Giordano (which sucks, second year in a row an injury might have robbed this award for him) helps out Letang, who jumps up to tied-for-best odds. Letang is out in front of the points race for defensemen, and if he can stay there, his candidacy would be strong.
