There are 11 games in the NHL on Monday. We’re looking to parlay three of them into a bet that will hopefully pay big. But before we dive in, be sure to check out all of our picks and previews for every game tonight.
This parlay is paying out at almost 14/1 on FanDuel Sportsbook.
Canadiens ML (+110)
Blackhawks -1.5 (+215)
Predators ML (+210)
Parlay odds: +1389
Let’s break down each of the legs one by one.
Montreal Canadiens ML over the Arizona Coyotes (+110)
Both of these teams are on losing streaks. Neither has been overly impressive, but the Habs need to bounce back after dropping their last 5 games and tonight provides a great opportunity. These are the worst teams in the league, so this game is something of a coin flip, however, there are some areas in which we think Montreal has the edge. The Coyotes are averaging nearly 2 more minor penalties per game, which could prove to be a major difference in this matchup. The more chances there are on the man advantage increases the chances of that team coming out on top. Additionally, the Coyotes’ top defensemen, Jakob Chychrun has been ruled out with a lower-body injury. Not only will that affect the Yotes’ 5-on-5 play, but if they continue to give up a large number of penalties, they no longer have their best defensemen to help out. This one will likely be tight, but at +110 the Canadiens provide some value to start tonight’s mega parlay. Take them on the money line.

Chicago Blackhawks -1.5 over the Seattle Kraken (+215)
The Seattle Kraken have lost their last 9 games in a row, including their last 8 home games. Meanwhile, the Blackhawks have been playing some of their best hockey of the season and are on a 4-game winning streak. Neither of these teams is going to win the cup, but tonight it should be an easy choice to take the Blackhawks. They’ve been much better defensively, and goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury has been on a roll. He’s won 4 straight games and has kept his opponents to 2 or fewer goals per game. He’s coming in fresh off a 37-save shutout. The last time these teams met, the Blackhawks won 4-2.
The Kraken are allowing the second-most goals per game with 3.65. After 4 months of the season, it’s easy to identify them as a poor hockey club, and their issues won’t change over night. Expect the Blackhawks to keep it rolling. They’ve been playing some great hockey and should manage to cover the spread.

Nashville Predators ML over the St. Louis Blues (+110)
These are two high-end teams in the Central Division, it’ll be a great matchup. The Predators have been dominant in their own division this season posting a 9-2-1 record. The Blues have managed only an 8-4-2 divisional record. At +110 the Preds provide bettors with great value. In their last matchup, the Predators won 4-3 and will be looking to double down tonight. With Juuse Saros in the net, Nashville is capable of beating any team on any night. He’s one of the many contenders for the goaltender of the year this season, and he’ll be looking to bring his A-game against a divisional opponent. This could be a preview of the first round of the playoffs, neither team is going to take the other lightly.
Jordan Binnington, the No. 1 goaltender for the Blues, has been sidelined for tonight’s game. Ville Husso has been confirmed as the starter, which could be good news for bettors. He’s appeared in just 7 games this season, while Saros in the Preds’ net has played in 30 games already. The more experienced goaltender could be the difference tonight, while rust could prove to be a major issue for the Blues. Take the Preds on the money line.
