Black Friday brings us a slate of NHL games all day long. We're focusing in on a few of the later games for tonight's top parlay picks.

Happy Black Friday! Friday's 13-game slate has some divisional matchups, mismatched foes, and everything in between. For our parlay picks, we'll be targeting a few teams that have been dominant at home this season.

Here are my top parlay picks for Friday's NHL matchups (Odds via DraftKings; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5 star scale).

Top NHL Parlay Picks

Ottawa Senators vs. Anaheim Ducks (-160) ????Montreal Canadiens vs. Buffalo Sabres (+100) ???Seattle Kraken vs. Tampa Bay Lightning -1.5 (+130) ????

Ducks (-160)

Let's start our day-after-Thanksgiving NHL parlay picks by betting on another bird: the Ducks. Anaheim is 7-3-1 at home this season with wins in six of its last seven home games. This afternoon, they host an Ottawa Senators team that is struggling.

Ottawa had three games canceled due to COVID-19 and lost its two games since returning to action. In total, the Sens have lost three straight games and nine of their last 10. They're just 2-11-1 since starting the season 2-1-0.

The Ducks have lost three straight, all as underdogs, and come home as pretty big favorites. This is the perfect spot for them to get back on track.

Sabres (+100)

The Buffalo Sabres won't be a part of many NHL parlay picks, but tonight's game allows us to back them. Well, we're backing Buffalo as much as we're fading Montreal.

These are two bad teams, but the Sabres have the home-ice advantage. Buffalo is 5-5-1 on home ice while Montreal is 1-8-1 on the road.

Montreal has lost five of its past six games and Buffalo is riding a four-game losing streak. Neither team is playing well, but Buffalo is the (slightly) better squad.

Lightning -1.5 (+130)

This game shouldn't be close. The two-time reigning Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning welcome in the NHL's newest team.

The Kraken are 1-6-1 on the road this season and just 6-12-1 overall. Tampa Bay, meanwhile, is 11-4-3 on the season and 6-3-2 at home. Tampa has won two straight and five of its past six games.

The Kraken lost six straight games before back-to-back home wins against Washington and Carolina, despite getting outshot 75-53 in the two games. Now they're headed back on the road, where they've lost six straight games.

Tampa should win this one easily. Of the Kraken's 13 losses this season, 10 have been by at least two goals. Give me the Lightning puck line to close out the NHL parlay picks.

Combined odds: Ducks (-160) + Sabres (+100) + Lightning -1.5 (+130) = +747
