To officially wrap up the 2023-24 NHL regular season, we have a 6-game slate tonight. The entire Eastern Conference is set in terms of playoff matchups, which begin on Saturday, but there is still seeding to be determined in the Western Conference. That means plenty to play for, and to help add some excitement to this final day, we've shared our best NHL parlay picks for today.
Along with our NHL mega parlay, be sure to check out all of our NHL predictions for today's action!
NHL Parlay Picks (4/18)
Colorado Avalanche -1.5 (+140) over Edmonton Oilers
Speaking of the Western Conference, it's only fitting that we get our NHL parlay picks started with a potential Western Conference Finals preview. In fact, it's quite a likely one, as Nathan MacKinnon and Connor McDavid are the faces of the entire NHL. Oddly enough, neither team can win their division tonight, and the Avs are one of the playoff series that are already set. They'll be taking on the Winnipeg Jets, and with that meaning an elite goaltender in Connor Hellebuyck, they're going to want to build some momentum heading into the postseason.'
Doing so against McDavid and company is no easy task, but the Oilers were also on the ice just last night, and on the road no less. As if that wasn't reason for concern among Edmonton fans, they lost by 3 goals to a lowly Arizona Coyotes team. Whether it's a lack of motivation to see the Vancouver Canucks win the Pacific Division or otherwise, this is a prime spot for the Avs to make it 8 wins in their past 10 meetings with Edmonton.
