<p>It doesn’t feel like it, but we’re already almost a third of the way through the NHL regular season. There’s still plenty of action ahead on the ice and at the NHL betting window, and tonight’s schedule features six games. </p>
<p>The Colorado Avalanche (+600 at BetOnline Sportsbook) are the current betting favorite to win the Stanley Cup, coming in ahead of the Atlantic Division-leading Florida Panthers (+900), the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning (also +900), the Vegas Golden Knights (+1000), and the Toronto Maple Leafs (also +1000). Six other teams currently have Stanley Cup odds of +2000 or better, with the other three division leaders (Metropolitan: Washington Capitals, Central: Minnesota Wild, Pacific: Calgary Flames) all in that bunch.</p>
<p>The Avalanche are nine points back of the Wild in the Central Division, but after a so-so start, they have retaken their spot as Stanley Cup favorites with a 7-2-1 run in their last ten games. </p>
<p>Of that group of Cup contenders, the Avs and Caps are in action tonight. Let’s take a look at tonight’s schedule and which betting options stick out among today’s NHL betting picks. </p>
