Top NHL Parlay Picks for Tuesday

There's another busy night around the NHL on Tuesday with eight games scheduled. We’re looking at a few contests for tonight’s top NHL parlay picks.

Monday was an active day in the NHL, and there are eight games on the docket for Tuesday. I’m coming off a +395 parlay win on Friday and am aiming to hit a similarly priced parlay tonight.

Here are my top NHL parlay picks for Tuesday’s matchups (odds via DraftKings Sportsbook, and pick confidence is based on a one-to-five star scale).

Top NHL Parlay Predictions

Senators (-140)

Ottawa has won two straight games after a 6-0 loss to Toronto on New Year’s Day. The Sens won 4-1 in Calgary and 6-4 in Edmonton as huge underdogs. Now they return home to host the Sabres.

Buffalo blew a 2-0 third-period lead in its 3-2 overtime loss to Detroit on Monday afternoon. Now the Sabres travel to face a rested Ottawa team.

Playing on no days of rest has been a hurdle for Buffalo this season. The Sabres are 0-3-4 without rest this season, including 0-2-2 after a loss.

They've produced a league-worst 34.9% Expected Goals For since the break while losing seven of eight matchups, according to Natural Stat Trick. The Sabres notched a bit of a fluky win in Nashville on Thursday despite getting outshot 30-21. They've been outshot in their last four games, including 39-22 in Detroit on Saturday.

We’re trusting Anton Forsberg (6-5-1, 3.16 goals-against average, .908 save percentage) and the Senators against the Sabres and their lackluster goalies. Michael Houser (2-2-0, 3.46 goals-against average, .901 save percentage last season) could make his season debut for Buffalo, or it'll be Aaron Dell ( 1-6-1, 3.75 goals-against average, .892 save percentage) in net again after losing on Monday

The Senators shouldn't be included in a parlay often. But tonight is the exception.

Stars to win in regulation (-160)

This is a safe leg to add to the parlay. Dallas is -265 on the moneyline and should easily win in regulation. The Canadiens have only posted five overtime losses over 37 games this season, and just four across 21 road contests. Meanwhile, the Stars played a lot of overtime games early in the campaign, but 11 of their last 13 home wins have come in regulation.

The Stars are 14-3-1 at home this season, including wins in their last five games in Dallas. On the other hand, the Canadiens are one of the league's worst teams overall, and they're just 2-15-4 on the road.

Dallas is the better club in terms of xGF (49.7% vs. 45.9%) and in net. Braden Holtby (6-8-1, 2.56 goals-against average, .920 save percentage) will likely start for the Stars against Sam Montembeault (1-6-3, 3.89 goals-against average, .895 save percentage) for the Canadiens, who are on the second half of back-to-back games.

Panthers team total over 3.5 (+100)

The Panthers are red-hot as they visit the Flames.

Florida beat Calgary 6-2 at home two weeks ago, and the same result is likely tonight. The Panthers have won four straight games and eight of nine since the holiday break.

The Cats have scored four-plus goals in each of their nine games following the break and 24 times across 38 games overall in 2021-22. They're fresh off potting nine and seven goals in their last two games, and are outscoring teams 54-24 since the league's COVID-19/holiday hiatus.

Meanwhile, Calgary has dropped its last four games while allowing four-plus goals in each contest. That includes a 4-1 loss at home to Ottawa last week.

The Flames have enjoyed four days off, which sounds like it would benefit them. But they haven’t fared well in similar situations in 2021-22. Calgary is 1-3-0 after three-plus days off, with the Over cashing in three of the four games.

We can count on the Cats to score at least four again tonight.

Combined Odds: Senators -140 + Stars regulation -160 + Panthers team total 3.5 +100 = +457
