That was fast.

Just a week ago, the Presidents’ Cup winners Vancouver Canucks were at the top of Bovada’s list to win the Western Conference playoffs. They were the number one seed and set to square off against the eight-seed Los Angeles Kings.

A week later, the favorite to win the west is still from that match-up, but its the Kings who have all the momentum.

Los Angeles is getting 5/2 odds to win the west, according to Bovada’s NHL Stanley Cup Futures, followed by the St. Louis Blues (3/1) and Nashville Predators (5/1).

“The future markets have to move faster and quicker this time of the year,” Caesars senior race and sports analyst Todd Fuhrman told Covers.com. “We already figure they’re (Los Angeles and Philadelphia) advancing.”

The Canucks are dead-last at 18/1, buried by a 3-0 defecit they’ll have to work out of starting Wednesday night. Only three teams in the history of the NHL have come back from a 3-0 defecit. The Kings have owned Vancouver so far, and it isn’t likely there will be a fourth.

In fact, teams that have owned a 3-0 series lead end up sweeping 59-percent of the time since 1995. The Canucks saw how easily the series can turn, though, holding a 3-0 lead last year against the Chicago Blackhawks, only to lose the next three games.

They came back and won, though, in Game 7.

The Kings have outscored Vancouver 9-4 so far this series, thanks to a great series by goaltender Jonathan Quick.

“He had all the tools; he just had to kind of get them in place,” the Los Angeles Kings’ goaltender coach told ESPN. “The way he did things from a tactical standpoint was very raw. He didn’t really have any coaching growing up. He basically went out there and stopped the puck.”

Quick stopped 111 of 115 shots so far this series, and had 41 saves Sunday night in Los Angeles’ 1-0 victory in Game Three. Another game like that and the Kings will win a playoff series for the first time since 2001.
