Saturday in the NHL has its second of 3 consecutive 9-game slates as the calendar turns. The Wild and Jets begin the action at 2PM ET with the remaining 8 games going through the evening and ultimately beyond midnight Eastern with a great Oilers-Kings matchup. Those are just a couple of some fantastic matchups as this slate also features Devils vs Bruins, Rangers vs Lightning, and Hurricanes vs Maple Leafs. This is a loaded Saturday in the NHL that we hope you will be able to watch.
I have created a 2-game NHL mega parlay for tonight’s action at +924 odds, which you can read below. You can also check out our NHL predictions for picks on today’s games.
St. Louis Blues win (+160)
Edmonton Oilers win and over 6.5 (+294)
NHL parlay odds: +924
St. Louis Blues win (+160)
The money line on the Blues in this one is good value considering how volatile the Penguins also are. If the Penguins are better than the Blues, they don’t appear “-192 favorites to +160 underdog” better. Both teams are just above .500 and the Blues are above the Penguins in the standings, granted with 2 more games played.
All that to say, there is not enough separating these teams for this lopsided line. This +160 is great value for St. Louis to win outright. The Blues have won 5 out of their last 7 games which include Dallas twice and Florida. This is very good value.
Edmonton Oilers win and over 6.5 (+294)
This game looks a little bit better for the Oilers given their recent form. Edmonton has won 11 out of their last 14 games and 5 out of their last 6 on the road. The Kings have been solid as well, but not quite as good overall lately and not as good at home this season. The Oilers have won 4 out of the last 5 head to head over the Kings, and will look to reinforce those trends.
The over has good value to supplement the Oilers winning the game. The Oilers and Kings rank 6th and 5th in the NHL respectively in goals scored per game. While the Kings have the league’s best goal prevention, the Oilers’ goal prevention ranks 21st in the NHL. The offensive upside in this game looks great for the over.
