The 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs got started over the weekend with 6 of the 8 series completing their opening games, and to begin the new week, we have the other 2 series getting started alongside a few Game 2's. That means we have some early bounce-back spots to target as well as some matchups to predict for the first time. So, let's not waste any time breaking down our best NHL parlay picks for to day.
Along with our NHL mega parlay, be sure to check out all of our NHL predictions for today's action!
NHL Parlay Picks (4/22)
Toronto Maple Leafs ML (+114) over Boston Bruins
The 1st leg of our NHL parlay picks for today is one of the series that got started on Saturday, which is one that we wouldn't have been surprised to see as an Eastern Conference Finals. Nonetheless, these Original Six teams have to deal with one another early on, and it was the Bruins who got the best of the Leafs in Game 1. Despite the incredible season Auston Matthews had in terms of finding the back of the net, he was unable to do so on Saturday.'
It's difficult to imagine that being the case for most of the games in this series, so whether you believe in the zig-zag theory in the playoffs or not, we're looking at Toronto bouncing back before the series heads up to Canada. The postseason hasn't been great for them for quite some time now, but remember, they got over the hump last season by making it past the 1st round. Let's also not forget that Boston had a 3-1 lead in the 1st round last season before getting eliminated. This series looks set to go at least 6 games, so we're taking the Leafs to even things up.
