There's a big 10-game slate on Thursday night, with plenty of opportunities to find value for our NHL parlay picks.

For tonight’s top parlay picks we’re looking at a pair of undervalued favorites and a high-scoring game in St. Louis.

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

Top NHL Parlay Picks

Chicago Blackhawks (-130) vs. Montreal Canadiens ????Detroit Red Wings vs. St. Louis Blues Over 6 (-105) ????Minnesota Wild (-145) vs. San Jose Sharks ?????

NHL Parlay Predictions

Blackhawks (-130)

The Blackhawks haven't lost back-to-back games since firing Jeremy Colliton. They immediately won four straight contests after a 1-9-2 start, and the club has been alternating losses and wins since. The Hawks lost 6-2 against the Rangers on Tuesday, but they were in the game until New York scored four goals in the third period, including three over the final eight minutes.

Goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury has turned his season around recently as well with a 6-3-0 record and .932 save percentage over the past month. He'll lead the Blackhawks to victory against a Canadiens squad that's a shell of itself this season.

Montreal is 6-18-3 after losing four straight games and six of its last seven matchups.

Red Wings-Blues Over 6 (-105)

The Red Wings and Blues have played more games Over the total than Under this season. That's been especially true recently, with three straight Overs for Detroit and five consecutive for St. Louis.

That trend will continue tonight with Charlie Lindgren in goal for the Blues, who's made only 24 career NHL starts. He's recorded an .899 save percentage over 147 AHL games. Meanwhile, Alex Nedeljkovic has posted a .918 save percentage this season for Detroit, but he's allowed three-plus goals in two straight games. It's even better for the Over if Thomas Greiss starts, as he's produced an .899 save percentage this campaign.

The Blues are averaging 3.3 goals per game. With an inexperienced goalie between the pipes, there’s a good chance the Blues both score and allow at least three goals tonight.

Wild (-145)

The Wild have quietly won seven straight games, including a 4-1 victory in Edmonton on Tuesday night. Minnesota has also beaten Winnipeg 7-1, Tampa Bay 4-2, and Toronto 4-3 during its win streak.

The Sharks are a solid team, but they don't match the Wild in talent. San Jose was outshot 43-27 in its 5-3 win on Tuesday against Calgary. The Sharks won't be so lucky against the Wild, who average 3.7 goals per game.

Cam Talbot has been effective for the Wild this season with a 14-5-0 record, 2.62 goals-against average, and .919 save percentage.

This line should be a lot longer. Let’s take advantage and add it to our parlay.

Combined Odds: Blackhawks (-130) + Red Wings - Blues Over 6 (-105) + Wild (-145) = +483
