Following a chill Wednesday, we are back in full force with a loaded NHL slate. It was just the calm before the storm, as we have 10 games on the ice tonight. Many teams are still looking ahead towards the postseason, as most can make the claim they are still in the hunt. We have a big weekend ahead, so we've analyzed tonight's matchup to create a mega parlay to cover our bets for the next few days. There are 3 different markets involved and they're all in the early window, so 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.
New York Rangers -1.5 (+150) over Detroit Red Wings
The Rangers are looking to take that next step after getting within 2 games of the Stanley Cup Finals last season. They are also coming off arguably the most frustrating loss of the season. Although they out-shot the Winnipeg Jets 51-21 on Monday night, they fell 4-1. However, they won't be facing the likes of goaltender Connor Hellebuyck in net tonight.
They will be back on the road, but that hasn't proved to be an issue for the Rangers. They went up to Canada and took down Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers right after putting up 6 goals in Vancouver. Now they get to head to a city they already had great success in this season: Detroit. When the Rangers went over to the Motor City earlier this season, they dominated the Red Wings 8-2. Now Detroit is going to have to get by an angry Igor Shesterkin, which is never an easy task. Wings goaltender Vile Husso hasn't looked quite as strong as the start of the year, so I will trust the Rangers to bounce back tonight.
