Hockey fans are in for a treat on Thursday night. With 28 teams suited up, there are a whopping 14 games on tap as a bridge to Friday. On what is a fantastic night of sports, the NHL is a major contributor. With under 10 games remaining in the regular season for most teams and playoff positions still up in the air, this is going to be a night of can't-miss hocke y.
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.
Panthers -1.5 (+130)
The Panthers have hit a bit of a rut. But fortunately for them, the Islanders have been on an ugly downward spiral. The Islanders have dropped 7 out of their last 8 games, as well as in 4 out of their last 5 games on the road. They have also lost 6 out of the last 8 played head to head.
The poor form of the Islanders makes for a good get-right spot for the Panthers. While Florida has been slumping a bit, it has not been all that ugly. They are 1-1-1 in their last 3 games with the regulation loss being a late, outlier of a comeback by the opposition. Look for the Panthers to take advantage of an even more vulnerable Islanders team to win big.
