The NHL season is almost here, and while the usual Stanley Cup favorites dominate the odds board, there are a few teams flying under the radar that could make a serious playoff run.

Washington enters the season with the eighth-best Stanley Cup odds at 15-1, but there are plenty of reasons to believe the Capitals could be a legitimate threat in the Eastern Conference. Their roster checks a lot of boxes, including Logan Thompson in goal, a deep defense corps and a forward group that added major talent this offseason. The Capitals added Alex Tuch, Jordan Kyrou and Boone Jenner, joining a lineup that already features Alex Ovechkin, Tom Wilson, Dylan Strome, Pierre-Luc Dubois and other players capable of producing 20-plus goals.
