Best NHL Parlays Today: Picks, Predictions for Thursday's Games

Twenty teams are in action on Thursday night and we're looking at four of the NHL's top shooters in our latest NHL shot prop parlay picks, based on the best NHL odds.

On the eve of the NHL's trade deadline, we're looking for four of the league's top shooters to continue producing in our NHL shot prop parlay picks.

Jason Robertson of the Dallas Stars and Matthew Tkachuk of the Florida Panthers rank in the top 10 for most shots in the league. They each have plum matchups Thursday to exceed their shot prop totals.

We'll also look to Brayden Point of the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Calgary Flames' Mikael Backlund to continue firing on net at a heavy rate.

Here are our NHL parlay picks for Thursday (odds via BetRivers).

NHL parlay predictions

Matthew Tkachuk Over 3.5 shots (-175)

We'll confidently call on Tkachuk to lead our NHL shot prop parlay. The Panthers star ranks 10th in the league in shots and has registered six shots on net in three consecutive games. 

Tkachuk's Over/Under total still sits at 3.5 shots, but the odds are heavily juiced as a result of the frequency with which he surpasses this total. He's topped 3.5 shots in 10 of his last 13 games. 

Thursday's matchup pits the Panthers against the Nashville Predators, a team that allows the seventh-most shots on net per game at 33.62 per contest. The Panthers sent 33 shots on net in their most recent meeting with the Preds on Feb. 18. The Cats shared the wealth in that game and Tkachuk fell one shot short of hitting the Over.

The venue shifts to Sunrise, Florida on Thursday, where Tkachuk has taken four-plus shots in his last seven home games.

Brayden Point Over 2.5 shots (-157)

Point is one of the league's hottest players, with goals in five straight games. He's hit the Over on his shot prop in the past two.

He and the Lightning again matchup with the Pittsburgh Penguins, a team he took three shots against in a 7-3 loss on Sunday. 

The odds on Point's Over is slowly creeping upwards. If he continues on his current pace, 2.5 shots may no longer be available.

We'll continue to ride the wave as Point faces the team that gives up the fourth-most shots on net per game.

Jason Robertson Over 3.5 shots (-118)

Robertson ranks ninth in the league in shots and he's hit the Over on his shot prop in his last three games. The Stars' All-Star sent five shots at both the Vegas Golden Knights and Vancouver Canucks before taking four shots on the Arizona Coyotes' net on Wednesday.

The Stars played the Chicago Blackhawks on February 22 and though Dallas sent 32 shots on net in a 4-3 loss, Robertson accounted for just three. The winger took eight shots against the Hawks in their late November meeting.

Chicago averages 33.83 shots against per game (fifth most) and Robertson is seeing nearly 20 minutes of ice time per contest. Though he fell short of the Over last week, we're banking on a rebound from one of the league's best offensive weapons.

Mikael Backlund Over 2.5 shots (-155)

We cap the NHL shot prop parlay with a player who has hit the Over on his shot prop in his last 10 games. Backlund's O/U of 2.5 shots remains a value, even at -155 odds.

Flames teammate Tyler Toffoli has hit the Over in nine straight games. Calgary ranks second in the league in shots per game (35.8) and Backlund and Toffoli should feature prominently in what could be a shootout against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

NHL shot parlay odds

BetRivers again carries the best odds for our NHL shot prop parlay. It's also the book with the best odds on Backlund. The Flames forward carries -190 odds at PointsBet, -182 odds at FanDuel, and -165 odds at DraftKings.

PointsBet is also charging heavy juice on Tkachuk, who carries -239 odds on the Over of 3.5 shots.
