The first two games of the Stanley Cup Final are in the books and everything is coming up Golden Knights. They have the 2-0 series lead as it heads back to Florida and Game 2 was a dominant 7-2 win.
Let's take a look at the latest odds to win the Cup heading into Game 3.
Stanley Cup odds
At -500 odds, sportsbooks are giving the Golden Knights an 83.33% chance to win their first Stanley Cup in franchise history.
The Panthers are struggling to find their footing now that Sergei Bobrovsky has turned into a pumpkin after his Cinderella run in-between the pipes through the fist three rounds. He was the star of the team and a huge reason they were able to make the final, but he allowed four goals in 33 shots in Game 1 and then was yanked in Game 2 after allowing four goals on 13 shots.
The advanced metrics back up the Golden Knights as well. Their expected goals per 60 minutes mark is 3.59 compared to the Panthers at 3.51.
If there's one thing that Panthers fans can lean on is that the series now heads to Florida for Game 3. As the old saying goes, the series doesn't begin until a road team wins.
The Panthers are slight favorites in Game 3 on Thursday.
