Apparently the NHL takes Halloween pretty seriously, as we have just 3 games on the board today. However, that's just enough for us to piece together our favorite plays to make a parlay that has a mega payout. We've got 2 Eastern Conference matchups and just 1 Western Conference game on the board, but we've found the best ways to play each of them. There's an emphasis on home teams performing well, so let's break down our mega parlay. Before we dive in, be sure to check out our NHL picks for today's action.
Carolina Hurricanes 3-way ML (-115) over Washington Capitals
This very well may be a postseason preview, as both of these Metro Division teams made the playoffs last season. They each also have 5 wins so far this year, and are both coming off of wins. However, the Capitals took a pretty big loss in their victory over the Nashville Predators. Right winder T.J. Oshie lasted less than 2 minutes on the ice before suffering an upper-body injury. If that wasn't bad enough, defenseman John Carlson also suffered an injury in that game.
Washington relies on their core of Oshie, Carlson, Alex Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov being able to lead the team. Meanwhile, the deadly duo of Andrei Svechnikov and Sebastian Aho has led the Hurricanes to a 5-2-1 record to begin their season. It's also worth noting that this will be Carolina’s first home game since their season opener.' They've been on the road for 7 straight games, so you can be sure PNC Arena will be rocking. It's already one of the toughest places to play and a Caps roster not at 100% looks set to struggle on Monday night.
