NHL Saturday betting picks and top parlays | 2/4/2022

There are nine National Hockey League (NHL) games scheduled for Saturday in the Americas, starting at 12:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (U.S.). Here’s where you should place your bets on the Saturday games. All lines provided by Bovada.

Montreal Canadiens @ Tampa Bay Lightning

Tampa Bay is the biggest favorite of the day despite playing Friday. Regardless of who is in goal, the Lightning will have the advantage in the crease. In fact, Tampa Bay has the advantage everywhere on the ice.

Tampa is also excellent at home, and the Canadiens are terrible on the road. Don’t overthink this one. Take Tampa Bay on the moneyline and consider taking the Lightning to win by two or more at -130. Parlay Tampa Bay on the moneyline and against the spread with…

Columbus Blue Jackets @ Boston Bruins

Boston is the other massive favorite playing at home on Saturday. While Columbus is no Montreal, Boston will be well-rested and Columbus is on a four-game road losing streak. The Bruins are also 8-2-0 over their last 10 games, scoring almost four goals per game and allowing just 2.5.

The Blue Jackets have allowed 3.7 goals per game and have scored three goals per game over their last 10. Expect Boston to stay on a roll at home, where the Bruins are 21-11-2. Take Boston on the moneyline with Tampa for -154 odds and take them both against the spread for +213 odds. Also consider betting that more than 6.5 goals are scored in this one at +105. Consider a moneyline and spread trifecta by adding…

Toronto Maple Leafs @ Philadelphia Flyers

Toronto is averaging almost four goals scored per game over its last 10 thanks to a seven-goal effort against Winnipeg. The Maple Leafs have won four of five and three straight.

The Flyers are averaging just 2.8 goals scored per game and allowing 3.4 over their last 10. They’ve lost four of five and three straight.

Toronto would like to keep Tampa Bay at bay in the NHL Atlantic Division standings with a win, and the Leafs have everything they need to do so. Philadelphia has been accessed 601 penalty minutes this season, and Toronto has scored on 30 percent of power plays. The Leafs are also considerably better on the penalty kill and at full strength.

Take Toronto on the moneyline with Tampa and Boston for +124 odds, and take the Leafs to win by two or more at -105. Also consider parlaying Tampa, Boston, and Toronto against the spread for +511 odds.

Florida Panthers @ New Jersey Devils

Calgary might be the bigger favorite based on the early money, but Calgary’s opponent has a lot to play for, while Florida’s opponent does not. Both of these teams play Sunday, but Florida gets Buffalo, while New Jersey hosts the Islanders. That means Sergei Bobrovsky should start in goal for the Panthers on Saturday after posting a shutout win over Chicago on Thursday.

Bet on the Panthers to win and win by two or more. Include them in a moneyline parlay with Tampa, Boston, and Toronto for +226 odds, and a four-team parlay against the spread pays +1213.
