Yesterday, Colorado vs. Seattle seemed to be far and away the most appealing same-game parlay target, and it paid off for us with a little 10-1 hit.
Edmonton vs. Los Angeles will surely be a tremendous contest and looks to be an excellent target for tonight. We will spend most of our breakdown there, but I have a bonus parlay option for Bruins vs. Panthers as well.
Same-Game Parlay: Oilers vs. Kings
The Parlay (+400 at bet365):
- Evan Bouchard Over 2.5 Shots on Goal
- Connor McDavid Over 3.5 Shots on Goal
- Oilers Moneyline
Evan Bouchard Over 2.5 Shots on Goal
It makes a ton of sense that Evan Bouchard should record a lot of shots on goal considering his elite shooting ability and his role on this high-powered Oilers team.
He's the quarterback on Edmonton's vaunted top power-play unit and is always likely to receive a ton of shooting opportunities as a result.
Los Angeles will likely continue to attempt to press up more aggressively on Connor McDavid coming down the left flank and ideally force him to lay it off to the top.
Bouchard has had 26 shot attempts in the first three games of the series. As we often see with defenders during the playoffs, a low percentage of those are reaching the target due to a higher number of blocks and greater pressure on the point.
Even still, nine shots have reached the target, and he has cashed this prop in two of the three games this series.
Connor McDavid Over 3.5 Shots on Goal
The game's best player has been firing away through the first three games of this series. He has put up 18 shots in three games, cashing the over 3.5 with ease.
This is a gigantic matchup for the Oilers, who will do everything in their power to avoid heading home in a 3-1 hole. During McDavid's incredible playoff run last season, his ice time was regularly hitting ridiculous marks, and that will likely be the case tonight if this game is even moderately close.
McDavid played very well in Friday's matchup, breaking through with two key goals. Contrary to what some people think based on his team's results, he has absolutely shown that his game translates into the Stanley Cup Playoffs with his play over the last two seasons.
Edmonton Moneyline
Edmonton has been the clear better team in this series in five-on-five play, but it has given up a number of untimely goals, on the penalty kill in particular.
It still seems very reasonable to think Edmonton finds a way to win Game 4. The Oilers were the favorite heading into the series based upon a ridiculous 18-2-1 record down the stretch and have not necessarily shown that that run was a fluke.
The Oilers own a 59% expected goals share in the series and are not typically a team that will struggle to convert chances into actual goals.
Same-Game Parlay: Bruins vs. Panthers
The Parlay (+1100) Bet365
- Brad Marchand to Record a Point, Over 2.5 Shots on Goal
- Charlie Coyle to Record a Point* (Omit if David Krejci Plays)
- Sam Bennett Over 2.5 Shots on Goal
- Taylor Hall Over 1.5 Shots on Goal
Brad Marchand has been a notable force for the Bruins and is clearly stepping up in the absence of captain Patrice Bergeron. I like the chances he stays hot with three shots and a point in this matchup. Charlie Coyle will be a benefactor of Marchand's elite play yet again today if he remains on the top line.
Taylor Hall has also been in strong form, and I like the chances he can generate two shots on goal for us here. Meanwhile, Bennett has been a force on a very strong top line for the Panthers.
