With a huge12-game slate of action this Saturday, we have all kinds of opportunities to piece together the most valuable plays for a mega parlay. However, it also means tons of matchups to analyze. That's what we're here for, as we've broken down each contest on the board. Although we aren't targeting either of the first games of the day, we do have an earlier puck drop that will be even earlier out in Los Angeles. With that in mind, let's get into it.'
Along with our NHL mega parlay, be sure to check out all of our NHL picks for today's action.
Los Angeles Kings -1.5 (+110) over Philadelphia Flyers
As mentioned, let's head out west for our first play. The Kings play host to the Flyers, who are likely flying high after their recent win. However, that was a game against the San Jose Sharks and it required overtime to get it done. The Sharks are the only team in the NHL allowing over 4 goals per game this month. Even with that win, that was only the Flyers 3rd victory in their last 10 games.'
LA hasn't been perfect either, but they're certainly playing better than their California counterparts. They're also coming off an impressive win over the defending Stanley Cup-champion Colorado Avalanche on the road. That victory marked their 7th in the last 10. We're backing the puck line given the difference in expected goals against for each of these teams. The Kings rank 7th in that category, while the Flyers are 30th out of 32 teams. With LA's Kevin Fiala finding a groove, he can help lead the Kings to a multi-goal win on home ice.''
