It has been a week and a half since the NHL had a slate of more than 3 games. With the all-star break now in the rearview mirror, the action is beginning to ramp back up. Tonight there are 8 games on tap beginning at 7:00 pm ET and going all through the night with the evening finale being the Oilers visiting the Golden Knights. It is getting late early for several teams as the season progresses. Tonight features several fringe playoff teams and will make for great action on a Tuesday night.

NHL Parlay Picks (2/6)
Boston Bruins ML (-192)
Philadelphia Flyers vs Florida Panthers Under 6 (-112)
Colorado Avalanche ML and Over 6.5 (+274)
NHL parlay odds: +976
Boston Bruins ML over Calgary Flames (-192)
The Flames and Bruins have gone in different directions of late. For the Flames, they have had a roller-coaster season and most recently have been on a downturn. Calgary has dropped 4 out of its last 5 games with its only win in that span being a 1-0 decision against a weak Blackhawks team.
The Bruins, meanwhile, have been stellar all season long with barely a blip on the radar. They enter tonight with 7 wins in their last 8 games and with 5 wins in their last 6 at home. The Bruins are the better team in better form. Until they show otherwise, Boston is a reliable play.
Philadelphia Flyers vs Florida Panthers Under 6 (-112)
This is another game in which the opponents are trending in different directions. The Flyers are winless in their last 5 games and recently have struggled to score. The Panthers have won 4 straight games while holding their opponents to just 1.75 goals per game during that span. That combination bodes well for an under.
The under has hit in 14 out of the Panthers’ last 20 games entering tonight. Their over under record on the season is 18-30-1, including 11-12 at home. If the Panthers are able to dictate this game as recent trends would indicate, they will likely control the scoring as well. With that, the under trend looks good to continue.

Colorado Avalanche ML over New Jersey Devils and Over 6.5 (+274)
The Devils continue to have a confusing, up-and-down season as they continue to lose ground in the playoff race. They have 2 wins in their last 7 games and 3 wins in their last 10. The Avalanche will not make things easy on New Jersey if they can hold their recent form. The Avs have won 11 out of their last 15 games and have arguably the best, hottest player on the planet right now.
To supplement an Avalanche outright win, the over has a good chance to cash. The over has hit in 10 out of Colorado’s last 13 games, as well as in 6 out of the last 7 on the road. The total has also gone over in 4 out of New Jersey’s last 6 games at home. Recent form and trends look good for a high-scoring game.
