A double digit slate on a Sunday is rare for the NHL. But that is exactly what they are giving fans to cap off a great week of hockey. The first puck drops at 12:30PM ET in Washington D.C. between the Jets and Capitals. Games then go on all throughout the afternoon, evening, and night. With a few heavyweight matchups and also plenty of playoff hopefuls suited up on Sunday, this will be a day of ho ckey you will not want to miss.
Let’s get into my 3-leg NHL parlay for today’s action, and you can also find out our experts’ NHL predictions for tonight’s big matchups.
Oilers vs Senators over 6.5 (-130)
Boasting arguably the best player on the planet, along one of the next best players on the planet, there is always potential for an Oilers offensive outburst. Edmonton has scored 23 goals in their last 5 games, they score the 4th most goals per game in the NHL, and have the 2nd best power play in the league.
The Senators, meanwhile, have plenty of offensive upside as well. But it is their lack of goal prevention thta has led to high totals lately. Ottawa has dropped 3 out of their last 4 games, all 4 games hit the over, they allowed 20 total goals in that span, and just scored 5 goals on Saturday. Their goal prevention vulnerability, their offensive upside, and the Oilers' offensive ability all make a good recipe for an over.
