Betting Odds For NHL Opening Night Triple Header

The Seattle Kraken have -140 odds over the St. Louis Blues.
The Florida Panthers are -150 favorites to beat the Boston Bruins.
Utah Hockey Club makes their debut as -165 favorites.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – NHL opening night is here and there is a three game slate with plenty of betting odds to pick and choose from. Opening night will feature the reigning champs, the Florida Panthers, the debut of the Utah Hockey Club, and a closely kept matchup according to the odds between the Seattle Kraken and St. Louis Blues.

Panthers Looking To Open Up Strong

Florida Panthers Vs. Boston Bruins

Moneyline: Panthers (-150) vs. Bruins (+130)
Spread: Panthers -1.5 (+170)
Total: 5.5

Legal sports betting sites are all over the Florida Panthers in their first game since winning the Stanley Cup championship last season and rightfully so. Defending Stanley Cup champs boast a 61-26-16 record on opening night all time. They face a tough matchup in the Boston Bruins whom they faced in the second round of the playoffs last year. The Bruins have the second most wins (44) and points (106) all time on opening night.

Utah Hockey Club Is Born

Utah Hockey Club Vs. Chicago Blackhawks

Moneyline: Utah Hockey Club (-168) vs Blackhawks (+142)
Spread: Utah -1.5 (+153)
Total: 6.0

A new era is beginning in Utah with the Utah Hockey Club making their debut and even being favored to win their first game in franchise history. Luckily, they draw a nice matchup against a struggling Chicago Blackhawks team that has finished below a .500 record in their last four seasons and also have the fifth most losses on opening night in NHL history.

Blues, Kraken Looking To Get A Leg Up

Seattle Kraken Vs. St. Louis Blues

Moneyline: Kraken (-142) vs. Blues (+122)
Spread: Kraken -1.5 (+180)
Total: 5.5

Although the Kraken’s NHL betting odds are favored at home against the St. Louis Blues on opening night, Seattle has yet to secure a win in their three opening night games. The Blues also swept the season series 3-0 against the Kraken last season.
