NHL Same Game Parlay Odds & Picks: Saturday (10/26)
It’s the third full weekend of the 2024-25 National Hockey League season. We’re getting a very good idea of who the good teams are and who might be in for a struggle this season. While trends in a series might be useful, don’t rely too much on historical trends, as it’s a good guideline, but certainly not gospel. Rosters and coaching staffs change so much from season to season that some trends become irrelevant.
We have 14 games on the schedule for Saturday. We won’t bother with the three afternoon games, instead focusing on the evening slate with puck drops of 7 p.m. ET or later. These Same Game Parlays (SGPs) come with +400 odds or higher.
Below we feature solid NHL Same Game Parlays for tonight’s matchups. Perhaps you can mix and match with college football, an NFL Week 8 matchup, the World Series or NBA games. Let’s get started.
Saturday’s Best NHL Same Game Parlay Bets
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Toronto Maple Leafs at Boston Bruins
- Leg 1: Bruins Moneyline (-115)
- Leg 2: Under 6.5 Goals (-130)
- Leg 3: William Nylander Anytime Goal Scorer (+190)
The Toronto Maple Leafs (4-4-0) travel to meet the Boston Bruins (3-4-1) at TD Garden at 7 p.m. ET. The game can be viewed and/or streamed on ESPN+ and NHL Network.
The Leafs are having some difficulty lately, as they fell to the Columbus Blue Jackets on the road Tuesday, 6-2, while getting blasted 5-1 on Thursday against the St. Louis Blues, 5-1. Toronto has dropped three of the past four games after opening the season 3-1-0.
The Bruins have had a lot of problems scoring goals, going for just three total goals in three games against the Utah Hockey Club, Nashville Predators and Dallas Stars. Boston has dropped their past two games at home.
However, in this series, the Bruins won all four regular-season meetings, outscoring the Leafs 15-7, while also posting a playoff series win in seven games in the first round.
Toronto is projected to start Anthony Stolarz (3-2-0, 1.83 GAA, .938 SV%), while Jeremy Swayman (2-3-1, 2.99 GAA, .904 SV%) is expected to go for the B’s. Stolarz has never faced the Bruins in his career, while Swayman went 3-0-0 with a 1.30 GAA and .959 SV% in three starts against Toronto last season.
Let’s back the Bruins straight up. Let’s also take a look at the under, especially if you can get it at under 6.5 total goals. The under cashed in their final two regular-season meetings, while going 7-1-1 in their past nine meetings including last season’s postseason series.
We’ll go with one anytime goal scorer, backing William Nylander. If you bet him straight up, you could nearly double up. As part of s three-leg SGP with the Bruins Moneyline and the game under, Nylander is a great addition. He is due after not scoring in the past two games. He had five goals in his previous four games before the scoring drought.
Parlay Odds: +1912
San Jose Sharks at Vegas Golden Knights
- Leg 1: Golden Knights -1.5 (-126)
- Leg 2: Under 6.5 Goals (-132)
- Leg 3: William Karlsson Anytime Goal Scorer (+240)
In the late-night game, we’ll take a deep dive into the Sharks (0-6-2) and Golden Knights (5-2-1) at T-Mobile Arena. In 2023-24, Vegas swept the regular-season series 4-0, outscoring San Jose 18-5, with a pair of shutout victories.
The closest game of the season came in a 5-4 shootout victory at T-Mobile Arena on December 10 as a heavy favorite (-315). San Jose also blasted Vegas 5-0 on November 10 as a giant favorite (-526). The under connected in three of those four meetings.
San Jose scored four goals in the opener, getting out to a 4-1 lead against the visiting St. Louis Blues before blowing the lead in regulation and losing 5-4 in overtime. Macklin Celebrini had a goal and an assist in that game, but he suffered a lower-body injury and hasn’t played since. The Sharks have scored two or fewer goals in four straight and seven of their past eight outings. As such, the under has cashed in four in a row, while going 6-1-1 in the previous eight outings.
Vegas belted the Ottawa Senators 6-4 last time out on Friday and now plays a back-to-back. The Golden Knights went 5-4-2 last season while playing on no rest while posting a -7 goal differential. In those games, the over had a 6-5 edge.
Mackenzie Blackwood (0-3-2, 3.88 GAA, .897 SV%) is expected to start for the Sharks, while Ilya Samsonov (2-0-1, 1.95 GAA, .944 SV%) is likely to get the nod in the blue ice for Vegas.
Let’s back Vegas on the puck line, laying the goal and a half and we’ll keep an eye on the under.
For an anytime goal scorer, we’re backing the home side. Let’s look to William Karlsson, as Cowboy Bill makes his season debut. He suffered an injury in training camp and has missed the first seven games of the season. He should hit the ground, or ice, running.
Parlay Odds: +827
