Sundays may be known for the NFL, but that doesn't mean we can't build our bankroll on the ice as well. There's just 5 NHL games today, but things start early with some afternoon hockey. It's also more than enough games for us to piece together our favorite plays for a parlay with a mega payout. We've already cashed 2 of them this week, so let's cap off the week the same way.
Before we dive in, be sure to check out our NHL picks for today's action.
Winnipeg Jets -1.5 (+100) over Anaheim Ducks
You'll notice a theme for our 3 favorite plays today. We're targeting the puck line of rested home teams going against teams that were all in action on Saturday. That begins with one of the first games of the day up in Winnipeg. The Jets are welcoming in the worst team in the NHL – the Anaheim Ducks. They've been at the bottom of the league in the majority of key statistics, including goals allowed per game.'
The Jets can certainly capitalize on that weakness, especially with them coming out to avenge their recent loss. They were just upset by the Columbus Blue Jackets, but still sit in 2nd place in the Central Division. That's even above the defending Stanley Cup-champion Colorado Avalanche, who they handled with ease prior to that Jackets loss. They took them down 5-0, which perfectly illustrated their biggest strength. The Jets are the 2nd-best team in terms of goaltending at home. When in Winnipeg, they allow just 1.82 goals per game. Given the Ducks are the lowest-scoring team in the NHL, expect a convincing Jets win to get the day started.'''
