Now, the good news: The Hawks are the still the sixth likeliest to claim the Cup and third in the Western Conference.

Boosted by a healthy Sidney Crosby, the Penguins are the favorites at 81 followed by the New York Rangers, who jumped from 121 to 91 after trading for Rick Nash. The Vancouver Canucks (111), Los Angeles Kings (121) and Philadelphia Flyers (131) sit ahead of the Hawks.

The rival Red Wings are right behind the Blackhawks at 151 and rival St. Louis is at 161.

After signing Zach Parise and Ryan Suter, the Minnesota Wild saw the greatest increase in their Stanley Cup chances, jumping from 751 when Bovada released the original odds on June 12 to 181.
