Best NHL Parlays to Bet Today

Parlay #1 (+314) at Bovada

Toronto Maple Leafs Moneyline (+110)

Despite the Toronto Maple Leafs sitting in 22nd place and the Florida Panthers in 9th overall, we like the Leafs as home underdogs, with the Panthers set at -130 and Toronto at +110 on the moneyline. 

The Maple Leafs have gone 4-2 in their last six games and have failed to lose in regulation in all six of those games. It’s been the Leafs road form that’s killing them in the standings as they have a 14-10 home record compared to a 5-12 road record. 

Vancouver Canucks vs. Buffalo Sabres Under 6 (-103)

Between the Canucks and Buffalo Sabres combined, they have gone 35-41-5 to the under, with the Sabres ranked inside the top 10 under teams in the NHL. We like the under 6 line as we feel a push might be the worst-case scenario here

The Buffalo Sabres have gone 8-1-1 to the under in their previous 10 games. It’s hard to see where the goals are going tonight. The Canucks have gone 5-5 to the total in their last 10 games, with 5 of their last 10 games also ending in a tie during regulation, as well as the fact that 4 of the last 5 games between these teams have seen under 5.5 goals scored

Parlay #2 (+379) at Bovada

Oilers’ Connor McDavid to Score (+115)

The 20th-placed Edmonton and 21st-placed Nashville Predators come head-to-head tonight, and both teams are badly in need of a win if they wish to make the post-season. Tonight, we are backing Connor McDavid to get on the scoreboard. 

McDavid has scored the 3rd most goals in the NHL this season, with 25 goals, and 12 of those scored in 18 home games played. He also has 13 career goals against the Predators. 

We like McDavid to score tonight. The Oilers have gone 8-2 in their last 10 games when facing Nashville, and McDavid has scored 18 of his 25 goals this season when on the winning side. 

Sharks’ Macklin Celebrini to Score (+123)

San Jose’s 19-year-old Macklin Celebrini has been on fire this season, scoring 22 goals, the 10th most in the NHL. Celebrini has scored in 6 of his previous 9 games and plays on home ice tonight were he has scored 13 goals this season. 

We like the San Jose Sharks to win this game tonight, and Celebrini has been red hot when on the winning side, scoring 19 of his 22 goals when the Sharks have won. 

Celebrini has got a lot of shots on net this season, with the 15th most in the NHL this season, and we like his chances to get back on the scoreboard tonight.

Parlay of the Day

Parlay #3 (+241) at Bovada

Edmonton Oilers Moneyline (-160)

As we stated earlier with our Connor McDavid pick, we do like the Edmonton Oilers to win this NHL home game against the Nashville Predators. Our computers are siding with a 4-2 Edmonton win

The Oilers have lost their previous two games on home ice, tonight we expect them to turn things around. We like the Oilers odds at -140, but wouldn’t like to lay any more than -150, so snap these odds up whilst they’re still available.  

New York Islanders Moneyline (+110)

The NY Islanders look like a good prospect here on home ice as an underdog at +105. The Islanders come into this game with the 7th-best record in the NHL, whilst the Devils are ranked 13th. 

The Islanders are 5-1 in their last 6 games when facing the NJ Devils, and come into this game having gone 5-2 in their last 7 games, with the Devils having gone 2-5 in their last 7. 

We can’t fathom why the Devils are road favorites here; give us the Islanders to win this on the moneyline as home underdogs.
