After just 2 games on the ice last night, the 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs are back in a big way with 4 huge games tonight. All 4 of the series that we'll see tonight feature teams with a 3-1 lead, which means we could see several second round matchups set by the end of the night. Will it be the teams looking to close things out that prevail or those with their backs against the wall? Let&# 39;s get into our NHL parlay picks for today to answer that question.

NHL Parlay Picks (4/30)
Toronto Maple Leafs 3-way ML (+195) over Boston Bruins
Before we fully get into the first leg of our NHL parlay picks for today, it's worth mentioning that you can grab the Toronto Maple Leafs on the regular money line and still get a great payout with odds of around +860. Regardless, with how this series has played out, especially with empty net goals, we're going to grab the Leafs to win in regulation. They have a tough task ahead of them with the series heading back to TD Garden in Boston, but it's far from impossible.'
In fact, when the Bruins had their record-setting season last year, they had a 3-1 series lead in the first round against the Florida Panthers. They went on to lose 3 straight and get eliminated. Meanwhile, the Leafs were able to get over the hump and make it out of the first round for the first time since 2004. Of course, this is a different season, but when Auston Matthews just put on the career year he just did, Toronto can never be counted out. We're not going to go as far as to say that they'll win the next 3 straight, but they can keep things competitive with a win tonight.'
