Believe it or not, the NHL All-Star Break is just 2 weekends away, but don't worry, we still have all the action leading up to it covered for you. Thursday's are generally big nights on the ice, and tonight is no different. We have 9 games on the slate following 7 last night, which means we have several teams on a back-to-back. That factor plays a part in our favorite plays of the day, and we've broken down each of our NHL parlay picks for you below.
Along with our NHL mega parlay, be sure to check out all of our NHL predictions for today's action!
NHL Parlay Picks (1/25)
Boston Bruins 3-way ML (+110) over Ottawa Senators
While back-to-backs generally provide an opportunity to fade teams, we're actually going to focus on a team instead. After all, the Boston Bruins have been following up last year's historic season by leading the Atlantic Division once again. Even with them on the road tonight, we still aren't concerned. They still have yet to record double-digit regulation losses, and they're facing the team at the very bottom of the division. Ottawa is likely riding high right now after a few wins recently, but they've been beating up on lesser teams like the Montreal Canadiens and San Jose Sharks.'
When they've faced playoff-caliber teams, they've lost quite convincingly. Despite these teams being divisional opponents – we certainly can't call them rivals – they haven't faced off against one another yet this season. So, it goes back to the end of last year, but Boston has still held Ottawa to just a single goal in each of their last 2 meetings. Along with the Sens having allowed the 3rd-most goals per game this year, we're starting our NHL parlay picks with the Bruins to win in regulation.
