Toronto Maple Leafs -1.5 (+140) over Nashville Predators
We have 3 different bet types for our NHL mega parlay, and it kicks off with a puck line play. As with every team we've targeted, both teams in this matchup are on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back. The Leafs went down in a very tough matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes, which is nothing to hang your head about. However, the Preds beatdown was far from inspiring. They were absolutely blown away by the Seattle Kraken 7-2.'
The more concerning part about that loss was the starting goaltender Juuse Saros was in net. With him not available, that should allow the immense skating talent of Toronto to quickly bounce back. The Leafs snuck away with a 2-1 win when these teams last met, but they should be able to find the back of the net far more often this time around. It also doesn't hurt that Nashville doesn't have several skaters they did in that previous matchup, as they were big sellers at the trade deadline. Look for the Leafs to build some momentum heading down the home stretch of the season.
