Hurricanes vs Capitals Free NHL Parlay Picks

• Leg 1: Carolina Hurricanes ML (-170)

Unless the Capitals can find a way to shrink the ice and get in the Hurricanes’ heads, it’s over. Alex Ovechkin, the greatest goal scorer ever, has looked old and ineffective. Even if he did finally score in the series, it was for naught as Carolina still soundly won. Carolina has the shortest odds to win the Stanley Cup for a reason.

The Hurricanes have outshot Washington 129-77 in the series. That is an average of over a dozen a game. On top of that, the ‘Canes special teams have been on point. Carolina has the top penalty kill in the playoffs (92.6%) and is third in power-play percentage (30%). It’s hard to see a weakness to this team. So expect NHL news to reflect a Carolina victory soon and parlay its moneyline.

Bet on Carolina Hurricanes (-170)

• Leg 2: Hurricanes vs Capitals Under 5.5 Goals (-120)

Carolina’s ability to dominate puck possession has yielded plenty of low-scoring contests. Per NHL betting trends, over 55% of its games have gone under the total (37-46-8), and this includes 61.5% of road games (10-16-3) against conference opponents like Washington. We don’t see this changing. Parlay the total to go under.

With the assist on the Jarvis goal, Aho now has 10 points in the playoffs.

List of players with 7 consecutive playoffs with at least 10 points:

Sebastian Aho *
Brad Marchand *
Mikko Rantanen *
Peter Forsberg (96-02)
Wayne Gretzky (81-91)
Bernie Geoffrion (53-60)

Bet on Hurricanes vs Capitals Under 5.5 Goals (-120)

• Leg 3: Sebastian Aho Over 0.5 Points (-197)

Sebastian Aho has been such a steady and productive player for Carolina. He has two points in four games in this series, but averages nearly a point per game (80 in 83) in the playoffs. On top of that, he has 12 points in nine series-clinching victories. His point prop to go over is one of the best NHL prop bets today.

Bet on Sebastian Aho Over 0.5 Points (-197)

• Leg 4: Logan Thompson Over 26.5 Saves (-130)

Logan Thompson needed the two-day break on the NHL schedule as he’s been the busiest goaltender. He’s faced at least 28 shots a game in this series. We’re betting he gets at least 26 saves and he’ll need to be sharp as Carolina continually throws pucks at him. This is worth adding to the parlay.

Bet on Logan Thompson Over 26.5 Saves (-130)
