The second day of the new year brings a heck of a 13-game slate in the NHL. In addition to the quantity of games, fans will be treated to some heavyweigh bouts between playoff contenders. Among other games on Tuesday are Hurricanes vs Rangers, Capitals vs Penguins, Lightning vs Jets, Panthers vs Coyotes, Islanders vs Avalanche, Flyers vs Oilers, and Maple Leafs vs Kings. Even if your team is not suited up tonight, there is a little bit of everything on this huge slate to enjoy.
As a result, I have created a 3-game NHL mega parlay for tonight’s action at +990 odds, which you can read below. You can also check out our NHL predictions for picks on today’s games.
Bruins -1.5 (+105)
This may be the most lopsided game on this slate. The Bruins have the second best point percentage in the NHL while the Blue Jackets may be contending for the draft lottery again. Boston had a bit of a mid-December slump, but they have since snapped out of it with a current 3-game win streak by a combined score of 14-6.
The Blue Jackets have played decent hockey lately. But if the Bruins bring anything close to their A-game, it should be enough to take care of business somewhat comfortably. Boston has won 7 out of the last 8 games against Columbus and is in a good spot to reinforce those trends.
