We’re back to a double-digit slate in the NHL on Tuesday with 10 games on tap, featuring what should be a few fantastic matchups. One game hockey fans will not want to miss is the Maple Leafs vs Rangers at 7:00 pm ET. This is a true original-6 heavyweight bout with star power on each side that should make for a great game. A few hours later will be the first meeting between Connor Bedard and Connor McDavid at 10:00 pm ET in Edmonton. I have created a 3-game NHL mega parlay for tonight’s action at +970 odds, which you can read below. You can also check out our NHL predictions for picks on today’s games.
Senators ML (+114)
Red Wings 3-way ML (+150)
Jets -1.5 (+100)
NHL parlay odds: +970
Ottawa Senators ML over Carolina Hurricanes (+114)
These teams have trended in opposite directions over the past week. The Hurricanes have lost 4 straight games and 5 of their last 6. The Senators have won 3 of their last 4, including impressive victories over the Rangers and Red Wings. Their loss in that stretch was a narrow 4-3 defeat to the Maple Leafs. Although the Senators sit last in the Eastern Conference, they have played the fewest games by far. Ottawa has a better win percentage than the 4 teams ahead of them. The Senators are a good team in good form, and getting plus-money odds in this spot is good value.
Detroit Red Wings 3-way ML over St. Louis Blues (+150)
This line feels fishy. Detroit is objectively the better team and is also in better form. The Red Wings are fantastic value at +105 for the money line when it would not be surprising if they were -130. With that, we get even better value taking Detroit to win in regulation.
The Blues are a confusing team this year. They enter this game with back-to-back losses to the Blue Jackets and Blackhawks. St. Louis has lost 4 of their last 5 with the win over Vegas being a bit of an anomaly. Detroit scores the 2nd-most goals per game in the NHL. It would not be shocking to see them crush the Blues.

Winnipeg Jets -1.5 over San Jose Sharks (+100)
The Sharks have played some pretty good hockey lately after a brutal first month and a half of the season. But for all intents and purposes, the Jets are the far better team in this game. Good current play aside, the Sharks score the fewest goals and allow the most per game in the NHL. For Winnipeg, this should just be another night of taking care of business.
The Jets sit 3rd in the Central Division with 34 points. Despite that, they have the best win percentage in the division and a better goal differential than both Colorado and Dallas, who should be the primary division contenders come spring. The Jets are a good team in good form and the more reliable pick, even on the puck line.
