Sidney Crosby hasn’t even been cleared to play yet, but oddsmakers have made him their favorite in Stanley Cup playoffs MVP odds.
Crosby hasn’t played since taking a puck in the jaw and the Penguins have not said when he will play. But he’s 10-1 as the top betting choice, according to Sportsbook.
Goalies have won the past two Conn Smythe trophies (Jonathan Quick and Tim Thomas) and goalies rank No. 2 and No. 3 on this particular list. Marc-Andre Fleury and Corey Crawford are both 15-1 as starting goalies of the teams favored to advance to the Stanley Cup finals.
Two former MVP winners are also high on this list. Chicago captain Jonathan Toews is 16-1 while Evgeni Malkin is 20-1, as he comes back from a concussion. Quick is 30-1 and would be a good bet for fans confident of a Los Angeles repeat.
