NHL Saturdays mean one thing: hockey all day. We have several afternoon games and matchups all throughout the night. That means plenty of matchups to break down and pick out the best way to create a mega parlay to boost your bankroll for the weekend. Teams are out to solidify playoff spots and skaters are out to show off before the trade deadline. We've taken everything into account and found our 3 favorite spots to target. One of them begins early and the last one is the nightcap, so let's check it out.
Along with our NHL mega parlay, be sure to check out all of our NHL picks for today's action.
Pittsburgh Penguins -1.5 (+165) over St. Louis Blues
There are 2 very early games and immediately following those will be this cross-conference clash. The Penguins are still on the outside looking in when it comes to the Wild Card race, but today's game should have them trending in the right direction. The Blues have been allowing goals left and right, as they've given up the 4th-most per game this season. They've been just as bad lately, and their offense can no longer make up for it.'
Not only did they trade away their former captain Ryan O'Rielly to the Toronto Maple Leafs, but they also traded away Vladimir Tarasenko to the New York Rangers. While they've virtually thrown in the white flag, the Pens believe their roster of veterans have more in the tank, as they held onto Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin this offseason. Those studs helped them smash St. Louis earlier this season 6-2. That was also before the now depleted roster, so there's no reason not to back another punishing Pittsburgh win at such a great price.
