The World Cup of Hockey is officially set to begin Saturday, but training camp for the upcoming NHL season is right around the corner which means it's time to get an early look at each team's championship odds.
The Blackhawks and Penguins, winners of the past two Stanley Cups, have opened as co-favorites to win it all in 2017 with 9/1 odds, according to Bovada.

While the Blackhawks lost a few key pieces over the offseason, such as Andrew Shaw and Teuvo Teravainen, a shored up defense with Brian Campbell and overseas addition Michal Kempny has propelled them back to the top as the favorite to come out of the Western Conference.
The Penguins will enter the season with virtually the same roster that won the Stanley Cup in June and will look to become the first team since the Detroit Red Wings in 1997-98 to repeat as champions.
