The NHL has an official plan to return from its pandemic-induced pause, and according to sportsbook William Hill, the league-leading Bruins are co-favorites to emerge from the 24-team playoff as Stanley Cup champions.

The Bruins are tied with Vegas to win it all, at +550 odds, followed by Tampa Bay at +600. The defending champion Blues sit at +800 odds to repeat.

With the end of the NHL’s regular season coming Tuesday, the league-leading Bruins (100 points) earned the Presidents’ Trophy for the best regular-season record for the first time since the 2013-14 season.  Boston will join the league’s other top teams – Tampa Bay, Washington, and Philadelphia – in a round-robin tournament to determine playoff seedings.

Should the Bruins win the Stanley Cup, they will become the first team since the 2008-09 Penguins to win it all a year after falling in the championship series.
