Just when we all thought we were past the worst that the pandemic had to offer, along comes a new variant that turns everything upside down. The sports world is doing what it can to continue while we go through another uptick in cases, but we are at the point where we are starting to see more and more games postponed. The NHL appears to be the hardest hit at the moment, with games requiring cross border travel between Canada and the US postponed for the time being. That has played havoc with the schedule for the coming week, but we are going to do our best to see if we can come up with some parlay plays for the week ahead. Without further ado, let’s get right to it so you can bet against the NHL odds.
Parlay Picks to Wager On Dec. 20th and 21st | NHL Betting
NHL Parlay – Monday – Blue Jackets, Wild
We only have 2 games going on Monday, so let’s see if we can make a parlay out of those games. The Columbus Blue Jackets and the Buffalo Sabres are both playing poorly at the moment, but in their earlier meeting this season, Columbus won 7-4. I’m taking them again.
The Minnesota Wild come into this week looking to snap out of a 3-game losing skid, but they are also still 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. They will be on the road to face a Dallas team that they hammered 7-2 in their last meeting.
NHL Parlay – Tuesday – Penguins, Golden Knights, Kraken
One of the most straightforward picks of the week would appear to be on Tuesday night, with the Pittsburgh Penguins set to tackle the New Jersey Devils. The Penguins have won 7 straight games, while the Devils have lost 6 in a row. Penguins all the way here.
We have a very good matchup set to go on Tuesday night, with the Tampa Bay Lightning heading to Vegas to play the Golden Knights. Both teams are playing great hockey at the moment, but the slight edge goes to Vegas on home ice.
The Seattle Kraken are, as you might have imagined, having a tough go of things in their inaugural season. As bad as things have been at times, they are still playing better hockey than Arizona right now, so let’s take the Kraken for a rare win.
NHL Parlay – Penguins, Lightning, Golden Knights
The entire Wednesday schedule has been wiped out, so let’s jump ahead to Thursday for our final parlay play of the week in the NHL. We are rolling with the Penguins again on Thursday night as they welcome in the Flyers, who they have already beaten this season.
While we have the Lightning losing in an earlier game this week, we like them to bounce back on Thursday night versus the Arizona Coyotes. The Lightning beat Arizona 5-1 when they played earlier in the year, and I expect more of the same in this one.
The Golden Knights will be out for revenge when they face the LA Kings on Thursday night after losing 6-2 in their previous meeting. Vegas is rounding into form right now and should be able to take care of the Kings on home ice.
