There are so many good teams in the NHL’s Western Conference, simply making the playoffs is a difficult task. The Chicago Blackhawks and Los Angeles Kings are as good as any teams since the NHL’s salary cap era began in 2005. They’ve both won multiple Stanley Cups in that span, but the Kings have also missed the playoffs multiple times. The Anaheim Ducks aren’t far behind, the San Jose Sharks are always competitive and every season the experts think this will be the year that the St. Louis Blues will finally get over the hump and make a deep playoff run.
Add to that newcomers to contending status such as the Dallas Stars, as well as up-and-coming young squads like the Minnesota Wild, Nashville Predators, Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames, Winnipeg Jets and Arizona Coyotes and it’s easy to see why the NHL’s Western Conference offers up so many good games from a wagering standpoint.

Know which teams tend to dominate others, which rinks give certain teams difficulty and whether one team is hot and one is not when they come into a meeting.
