We’ve got a jam-packed NHL slate for today’s action on the ice, which is perfect for spectators and bettors alike. I’m taking advantage of these matchups with my favorite NHL parlay picks for the day, which I’ve shared below. While you’re at it, don’t forget to read over our NHL predictions for today’s hockey contests.
Panthers -1.5 (+120)
Devils -1.5 (+205)
Coyotes ML (-145)
NHL parlay odds: +1034
Florida Panthers -1.5 over St. Louis Blues (+120)
The Panthers are back at home tonight for the first time since the beginning of this month and they’re glad to be there. They dropped 3 of 5 on their last road trip, but in the 3 home games prior they sported a 2-1 record. They seem to have a tendency to win big when they come out on top too, as 6 of their last 7 victories have been by at least 2 goals. Florida will take their top-5 offense to the ice against a Blues squad that has really struggled this season.
St. Louis owns just 3 wins in their last 9 games and sports an interesting trend this campaign. Of their 15 losses this campaign, all but 1 have been by at least 2 goals. This is likely due to having both one of the worst offenses and defenses in the NHL. Florida shouldn’t have much trouble defeating the Blues in this one and, all things considered, this puck line has tremendous value.
New Jersey Devils -1.5 over Edmonton Oilers (+205)
The Oilers will look to put an end to their 3-game skid on the road in New Jersey tonight. While Edmonton has fared well offensively this season, they’ve struggled to prevent teams from simply outscoring them, allowing 3.4 goals per game (27th in NHL). They went on an impressive winning streak recently, but it should be noted that all but 2 of those 8 games were played on their home ice.
New Jersey has also struggled to contain the offensive attack of opponents thus far but, like Edmonton, they have a high-octane attack themselves. Before their win streak, the Oilers were one of the more disappointing teams in the league. I’m curious to see whether that streak was just a short-lived run or a sign of better things to come. Until then, I’ll trust the better team in the Devils to cover here.
Arizona Coyotes ML over San Jose Sharks (-145)
Being able to get the Coyotes on the money line at such a nice price against one of the worst teams in the league shouldn’t be missed out on. Arizona has had their road struggles, but this is still a solid squad playing some good hockey overall, particularly from a goals-allowed standpoint. They also just defeated this same San Jose team less than a week ago when they shut out the Sharks.
San Jose is starting to have some company for the worst record in the league, but their goal differential is still far and away the worst of any squad (-61). Their numbers on both ends of the ice are rather embarrassing whether they’re playing at home or on the road, and a team like the Coyotes should easily be able to come away with the victory here.
