Islanders vs. Capitals: Today’s Best NHL Same Game Parlay Bets (Wednesday)

Just a three-game slate for tonight, but they are important ones. All three games feature teams that need to collect points as they wrap the regular season for seeding, but also for a playoff spot. Here are my top picks. Below is a closer look at Islanders vs. Capitals.

Islanders vs. Capitals

Leg 1: UNDER 1.5 Total First Period Goals (+110)
Leg 2: UNDER 6.5 Total Goals (-165)
Leg 3: Capitals ML (-110)

I don't think the Islanders appreciated the negative talk about their offense because they flipped a switch. The shutout loss to Buffalo was shocking, but they were on the second leg of a back-to-back, and the previous game went to overtime. The offense is still on a great run scoring 26 goals in their last six games and putting up seven against Toronto and five on New Jersey.

Washington would need a miracle to get into the playoffs because they've dropped four of their last five. The Capitals have had success against the Islanders by winning both games, and Darcy Kuemper is 2-0-0 with a 1.94 GAA and a .938 save percentage.

I like Washington to halt New York's offensive flow and get a win.
