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.
Devils vs Maple Leafs over 6.5 (-122)
The Maple Leafs score the 3rd most goals per game in the NHL and rank 19th in goals allowed per game. The Devils rank a respectable 11th in the NHL in goals scored per game, and 26th in goals allowed per game. The respective strength of goal scoring and weakness of goal prevention bodes well for the over.
New Jersey has either scored or allowed 4+ goals in 4 consecutive games, as well as in 8 out of their last 10. Toronto has scored 14 goals in their last 3 games which has contributed to 5 overs in their last 6 games. The total has also gone over in 12 out of the last 18 played head to head between these teams. Recent trends and team strengths and weaknesses look good for another over.
