To start tonight's NHL parlay, let's go with a low-scoring game between the Ducks and Rangers. The Rangers are without Igor Shesterkin for the rest of the season, but Dylan Garland has been solid as his current replacement. New York's recent 1-0 overtime loss was far from his fault. Meanwhile, it’s hard to trust the Ducks -- especially from an offensive standpoint. This matchup will likely be a defensive struggle.
Next, I like the Maple Leafs to take care of the Sharks. San Jose is a respectable 4-3-1, but it is the only team in the NHL still without a regulation win. The Sharks' 2.63 goals per game rank 24th in the league. Toronto brings a more potent attack to the table, averaging 3.22 goals per contest. The Maple Leafs may not be anything special, but they should take care of business at home.
To round off tonight's NHL parlay, let's bank on a shootout between the Penguins and Mammoth. Pittsburgh's most recent outing was a 6-2 loss to Vegas. Prior to that on this road trip, the Penguins lost games by margins of 5-2 and 5-3. They simply aren't playing any defense... but neither are the Mammoth, who lost to the Oilers 6-2 the last time they took the ice. On the bright side, each team can score - and each team probably will on Monday night.
