Bodog online bookmakers are offering the latest NHL betting markets for the new National Hockey League season which kicked off in Canada last Thursday, such as NHL Conference winner odds and Stanley Cup winner odds.

In terms of Bodog NHL odds, the Vancouver Canucks are the NHL betting favorites to win the NHL Western Conference as well as the coveted Stanley Cup.

The Canucks almost clinched their first ever Stanley Cup title last year and are bloodthirsty for the trophy this time around.  Their star players, Henrik and Daniel Sedin, as well as Ryan Kesler, are in top form, and highly motivated after winning the President's Trophy. Robert Luongo, Vancouver's goalie, has to come through and play consistently well if the Canucks want to celebrate their first Stanley Cup win.

Led by their star player Alex Ovechkin, the Washington Capitals have a better than good chance of winning the Eastern Conference this season.

The Boston Bruins are itching to prove to their critics that last year's Stanley Cup win wasn't an accident, and their odds of 10/1 at Bodog to win the trophy means that NHL betting fans can look forward to their presence for a long time in this competition.

Bodog Offers Best NHL Odds

Other top NHL odds offered at Bodog surround the Pittsburgh Penguins, the San Jose Sharks and the Philadelphia Flyers.

The Penguins will have a better shot at winning the Cup (10/1) if their star Sidney Crosby takes to the ice. However, a severe concussion has left him benched since January, and could even spell the end of his career. But the team may still prevail with players like goalkeeper Marc-Andre Fleury and center Evgeni Malkin on board.

Pittsburgh Penguins odds to win the NHL Eastern Conference: 9/2

The San Jose Sharks, meanwhile, reached the finals of the Western Conference twice in the past two years, but lost in the end, and they have never made it to the Stanley Cup finals.
