NHL Parlay Predictions
Rangers (-165)
The Rangers are among the league's best teams this season. They're tied for the NHL's third-best point percentage and are in the top half in both goals for and goals against per game. Going on the road hasn't been an issue for them either, as they've posted a 9-3-2 record away from New York.
New York was humbled a bit last time out with a 7-3 loss to the Avalanche to break its seven-game win streak. However, the Rangers were forced to put Adam Huska in net. With Alexandar Georgiev between the pipes again, the club should be able to start another winning streak against a bad Sabres team.
The Sabres have lost five straight and nine of their last 10 games. The Rangers won the first meeting this season between these teams 5-4, and they went 6-1-1 against Buffalo last campaign.
Capitals (-135)
Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin face off in Washington on Friday night. The Capitals beat the Penguins 5-1 in their first matchup this season, and we could see a similar outcome tonight.
Washington is 9-1-4 at home, while Pittsburgh is just 7-3-3 on the road. The Pens got back on track a bit with wins against Vancouver and Seattle after losing three straight, but they're without Jake Guentzel and Bryan Rust.
The Capitals have won five of their last seven games, and Ovi is on a mission this season. Washington will take care of business against its division rival at home on Friday night.
Avalanche -1.5 (-130)
The Avalanche are humongous moneyline favorites at -320, but turning to the puck line at -130 shouldn’t be an issue.
Colorado has won 14 games this season while earning multi-goal victories 12 times, including its last 11 triumphs. Meanwhile, Detroit has logged two-goal defeats in eight of its last nine losses.
The Red Wings lost 6-2 in St. Louis last night and 5-2 to Nashville at home on Tuesday, and they now face a red-hot Avalanche team. Colorado has scored four-plus goals in four straight games, including seven in each of its last two. The squad will rack up goals again in a big win over Detroit.
Combined Odds: Rangers -165 + Capitals -135 + Avalanche -1.5 (-130) = +394
