We have 4 games on the board tonight, with each one an interesting matchup. The Carolina Hurricanes and Florida Panthers each won their respective conferences last season and the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals have been bitter rivals since Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin entered the league. The Vancouver Canucks and Montreal Canadiens wage a battle north of the border and the Minnesota Wild and Anaheim Ducks have most fans expecting a lopsided game.'
I have targeted my 3 favorite plays out of the 4 games to piece together for a parlay with mega odds to boost your bankroll. Before we dive in, be sure to check out our NHL picks for today's action.
Pittsburgh Penguins -1.5 (+195) over Washington Capitals
As we mentioned, the Penguins and Capitals have engaged in 1 of the best rivalries over the best decade. That has primarily been due to Crosby and Ovechkin living up to the hype. Crosby was the #1 overall pick in 2005 and Ovechkin was the same top pick the year prior. Nearly 20 years later and here they are still dominating the league. However, neither team is having a great start to their season. In fact, they are above only the Columbus Blue Jackets in the Metro Division. Despite the Pens’ current losing streak, their extended rest should help them take down the Caps.'
