Thursday's Best NHL Same Game Parlay Bets
(NHL odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Washington Capitals at Seattle Kraken
- Leg 1: Capitals Moneyline (-142)
- Leg 2: Both Teams to Score 2 Goals (-170)
- Leg 3: Dylan Strome 1+ Point (-135)
What a turnaround season for the Capitals; last year, they barely made the playoffs. This season, they lead the league with 69 points and are on a five-game winning streak.
This has been one of the best all-around teams, as they allow the fewest goals per game (2.43) and are second in goals scored (3.55). What's improved for this team is that they have been better at staying healthy. Even with Alex Ovechkin missing time, everyone else has been able to stay on the ice and the supporting cast has kept this team competitive.
It was a disappointing last season for the Kraken after making the playoffs the year prior. This looks like another disappointing season. Even though they are only six points back of the last Wild Card spot, which isn’t impossible to overcome, they have a few teams ahead of them. Their problem last year was a lack of offense, but they remained competitive through their defense. This year is different, as they rank 23rd in goals allowed per game.
The Caps are hot right now with five straight wins. Although Seattle is playing better with two straight wins, they are running into a buzzsaw in Washington.
Parlay Odds: +370
Montreal Canadiens at Detroit Red Wings
- Leg 1: Over 5.5 Goals (-130)
- Leg 2: Both Teams to Score 2 Goals (-185)
- Leg 3: Over 1.5 First-Period Goals (-130)
Montreal has been a rebuilding organization for the last few years, but they might now be ready to be a contender. It didn't look like it at the start as they began 8-13-3, but they've recently turned it around. They are climbing up the standings and are 13-3-1 in their last 17 games, scoring 3.7 goals per game.
Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield are the Habs' two best players. Suzuki leads the team with 47 points, while Caufield leads with 24 goals. They are finally getting additional support, including from Lane Hutson, who has a point in eight straight games.
Detroit looked like they were another team that was on their way to turning around their season. They fired their head coach, which helped for a while, and went on to win seven straight. It feels like momentum has halted, though, as they are 1-2-1 in their last five.
This team is offensively driven thanks to forwards Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond and Alex DeBrincat. During their winning streak, they scored 4.42 goals per game, but they have only scored one goal in each of the last three games.
Detroit can rebound against a Montreal defense that has been inconsistent throughout the year. The Canadiens should do well against an overall below-average Red Wings defense.
