Tonight features the final NHL slate before we head into the All-Star Weekend, and it features just 3 games. However, that is more than enough for us to piece together our favorite NHL parlay picks for a mega payout to boost your bankroll heading into the festivities. We’re going to be putting some confidence in goal-scoring and road underdogs, so let’s get into our NHL best bets. Along with our NHL mega parlay, be sure to check out all of our NHL predictions for today’s action!
NHL Parlay Picks (1/31)
Senators vs Red Wings Over 7 (+100)
Predators ML (+100)
Sharks ML (+150)
NHL parlay odds: +900
Ottawa Senators vs Detroit Red Wings Over 7 (+100)
First up is a classic Atlantic Division rivalry between 2 teams looking to get back to former glory, or at least make it back to the Stanley Cup playoffs. Neither the Sens nor Wings are currently in a postseason position, but their matchup sets up for an electric game. That’s due to their ability to score while also not defending the net particularly well. Ottawa has allowed the 3rd-most goals per game thus far, so we aren’t concerned about the total being as high as 7 goals.
In fact, it provides us with great plus-money odds. We also saw the Sens allow 7 goals as recently as Saturday, and the Wings are the 5th-highest scoring team in the NHL. They just scored 5 goals on the defending-champion Vegas Golden Knights, who have been a top-10 goaltending team all season. Therefore, it’s no surprise that Detroit has the NHL’s 5th-best record in terms of going over the total. So, we’re backing a high-scoring game to get our NHL parlay picks started.
Nashville Predators ML over Los Angeles Kings (+100)
Next up is a game in which we actually expect very few goals to be scored. Both the Preds and Kings have been defensive teams for several seasons now, and when these teams met just 2 weeks ago, it was a tight 2-1 Nashville win. In fact, each of their last 2 meetings have been won by the Preds by that same final score. Each team was also involved in overtime games in their most recent matchups, which is why we’re avoiding the 3-way money line market.
This is likely going to be the biggest sweat of the night, so for a bit less value, we’d also suggest taking the under 6 goals. Regardless, Nashville is one of the toughest places to play in the entire league, and Preds goaltender Juuse Saros is still one of the best in the NHL. Roman Josi continues to be a Norris Trophy contender year in and year out, and we expect a strong performance from sharpshooter Filip Forsberg. Expect a low-scoring game in which Nashville can squeak out the victory.

San Jose Sharks ML over Anaheim Ducks (+150)
Wrapping up our NHL parlay picks is a matchup between arguably the 2 worst teams in the NHL. Well, the Ducks haven’t been as bad as the last 2 seasons, but their strong surge in October quickly fell off. These 2 teams sit at the bottom of the Pacific Division, and we know that the Sharks have been all but impossible to back this year. However, they’ve won 4 of their last 5 games, including an impressive victory over the Metro Division-leading New York Rangers.
That stretch also started with a win over the Ducks, which was actually by multiple goals. The Ducks are often able to grab their wins at home due to teams traveling across the country, but of course, that won’t be the case for San Jose. It’s not often that we’re going to be supporting the Sharks this season, so the fact that we’re even taking this stance speaks volumes. In the last game of the night and before the All-Star Weekend, we’re adding a San Jose win to our NHL parlay picks.
