Boston Bruins Betting Odds For 2022-23 Season

As sports betting approaches in Massachusetts, hockey enthusiasts in the Bay State are filled with anticipation to wager on NHL games. The upcoming 2022-23 Boston Bruins season holds great excitement as they aim to replicate their previous successes and potentially secure the Stanley Cup. With an experienced group of players at the core, this campaign could mark their final opportunity to clinch the prestigious trophy.

David Krejci returned to the B’s after a year off during the offseason. Patrice Bergeron, the team captain, chose to continue playing and signed up for his 19th season in Boston. Additionally, the Bruins made a switch in their head coaching position, letting go of Bruce Cassidy and bringing in Jim Montgomery.

What do these findings imply for the Bruins’ betting odds? The following table displays the Bruins’ futures odds from various sportsbooks as the NHL season begins:

SPORTSBOOK	Stanley Cup	Eastern Conference	Atlantic Division	Regular Season Points
BetMGM	+2800	+1400	+900	N/A
Caesars	+2500	+1500	+700	Over 99 (-115) Under 99 (-115)
DraftKings	+2500	+1200	+1100	Over 96.5 (-130) Under 96.5 (+100)
FanDuel	+2800	+1300	+1000	Over 95.6 (-106) Under 96.5 (-120)

Bruins Stanley Cup Odds

DraftKings has listed the Bruins at +2500 odds to win the Stanley Cup, placing them below ten other teams with better chances. The Bruins face challenges in their journey back to the Cup Final, particularly due to injuries to key players at the beginning of the regular season. Brad Marchand, Charlie McAvoy, and Matt Grzelcyk have all undergone surgeries during the offseason and will be unavailable for the team’s start. Marchand and McAvoy are expected to return sometime in December, while Grzelcyk is anticipated to be back in November. However, winning the Stanley Cup ultimately depends on a team’s ability to get hot and stay hot. The performance of a team during the initial two months of the season does not necessarily reflect their final outcome.

Additionally, it is important to note that if Massachusetts does not implement sports betting during this football season, the state will miss out on a significant amount of tax revenue, estimated to be around $5 million per month.

Bruins Eastern Conference Odds

The Bruins will possess exceptional defensive talent and depth once they are fully recovered. During critical moments in games, they can rely on the shutdown duo of Hampus Lindholm and Charlie McAvoy, as well as the versatile line consisting of Brad Marchand, Jake DeBrusk, and five-time Selke Award recipient Patrice Bergeron. As they say, a strong defense is crucial for winning championships. However, despite their potential, the Bruins still face numerous challenges in the Eastern Conference. This is why they are given odds of +1200 to win the conference on DraftKings, placing them as the seventh most-favored team out of the 16 Eastern Conference teams.

Bruins Atlantic Division Odds

The NHL’s Atlantic Division is known for its strong competition. Last season, the Tampa Bay Lightning, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Florida Panthers all scored 110+ points, and they are expected to continue their impressive performances this year. Additionally, teams like the Buffalo Sabres, Detroit Red Wings, and Ottawa Senators, who are in the process of rebuilding, are anticipated to show improvement. The Boston Bruins currently hold the fourth-best odds to win the Atlantic, with +1100.

What Other NHL Futures Bets Are There?

Betting on futures involves making long-term predictions. During the offseason, the NHL Stanley Cup odds attract the most attention in the sports betting market. However, there are other futures markets worth exploring. Hockey enthusiasts can also place bets on which team they believe will win each conference and division. Additionally, one can wager on teams to secure the Presidents’ Trophy in the upcoming regular season.

In addition to regular bets, bettors have the option to place wagers on player props for the entire season, such as goal and point totals, as well as awards like the Art Ross Trophy for the NHL’s leading scorer and the Vezina Trophy for the top goaltender. Certain sportsbooks even offer futures bets on whether a particular team will qualify for the playoffs, which can be placed before or during the season. Numerous NHL futures options are accessible throughout the year.
