After 1230 regular season games, the NHL playoffs have arrived. Things kick off on Wednesday night with three games.

Now that we know all 16 participants, here are the final odds for each team before the puck drops:

From Bovada:

Pittsburgh Penguins 4/1
New York Rangers 11/2
Vancouver Canucks 11/2
St. Louis Blues 15/2
Boston Bruins 8/1
Detroit Red Wings 12/1
Nashville Predators 14/1
Philadelphia Flyers 14/1
Chicago Blackhawks 16/1

Los Angeles Kings 20/1
New Jersey Devils 25/1
Washington Capitals 30/1
Florida Panthers 35/1
Ottawa Senators 40/1
Phoenix Coyotes 40/1

You know, throwing $100 on the Coyotes at 40/1 and hoping Mike Smith stays hot isn't such a bad idea.

After the jump, Conn Smythe Trophy odds and those wacky prop bets.
