February is winding down, which means the NHL season continues to heat up. Plenty of teams are still in the playoff race, but only 8 from each conference will make it. It's a light Monday with just 5 games, but we've targeted 3 to create our NHL mega parlay for today. Of the 2 we aren't focused on, we expect the Stars to come out on top and when it comes to the Blackhawks vs Ducks, there's no reason to trust either of those teams. There's just 1 game in the early time slot, but we have a play on it, so let's dive into it.'
Along with our NHL mega parlay, be sure to check out all of our NHL picks for today's action.
Ottawa Senators ML (-135) over Detroit Red Wings
Tonight has a strange slate of games, where there is only 1 matchup in the 7pm ET time slot. That would be in Ottawa with the Senators hosting a division rival in the Detroit Red Wings. To add to the scheduling awkwardness, these teams face off again tomorrow night, also in Ottawa. It's a strange situation, but the Sens will be looking to continue their success against the Wings.'
They've defeated Detroit in 5 of the last 6 meetings and 7 of the last 10. Not only that, but many of those matchups weren't even close. Prior to the most recent meeting on Christmas Eve, the Sens took down the Wings by 3 goals for 4 straight games. That's not what Detroit fans want to hear after they just watched their team get shut out in their most recent game. Ottawa doesn't have the likes of Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy in net, but they can still hold their own on home ice.
