Unexpected Absences: How Mark Stone and Cale Makar’s Game 2 Sidelines Could Change the Western Conference Final Forever
How Game 2 Odds And Futures Shift
With both captains out, oddsmakers have adjusted their projections for Game 2 and the Stanley Cup race.
CasinoDoc, which tracks online betting outlets in Canada, lists a tighter Game 2 price and has trimmed Colorado’s series and Cup odds after the Game 1 loss and the confirmation that Makar will miss another night. The market still respects Colorado’s talent and home ice, but the gap is smaller without its all‑situations anchor on the blue line.
Vegas, already riding a 1–0 series lead, has seen a modest boost in its Cup futures despite Stone’s ongoing absence. The Knights have shown they can win without him for stretches. Their depth scoring and structure have carried over from earlier rounds, which keeps their profile strong even with a star winger watching from the press box.
