Today is an excellent day for sports fans as we not only have NBA, college basketball, NFL and college football taking place, but also a 13-game NHL slate on tap. I've mostly stuck to player props for my hockey articles, but this seems like a prime opportunity to take my shot at nailing a multi-leg parlay.
Below I've given my favorite picks for today's slate along with the parlay odds if you were to combine each selection. Don't forget to check out our NHL picks for a breakdown of every single game on today's exciting schedule.
Boston Bruins ML vs New York Rangers (-110)
Both of these teams will be on the second leg of a back-to-back in this one, but Boston will actually get to be at home for this affair. You could say the Bruins have scuffled a bit as of late, with just a 2-2 record over their last 4 games, but New York has been on an even more severe downward trend. They've lost 3 of their last 5 games.
To be completely transparent, this is more of a value play than anything. There aren't many times this season where we can get the Bruins ML at a price like this, and all things considered, they match up okay with the Rangers. Look for both goaltenders to have solid outings here, but I'll take Boston to outlast New York in this one.
