Panthers vs Maple Leafs NHL Same Game Parlay Picks for May 18: Go With Toronto (+1.5) in Game 7

Is this the year that the Toronto Maple Leafs put years of playoff disappointment behind them? Toronto defied the odds by shutting out reigning Stanley Cup champion Florida on Friday night to push the second-round series to Game 7.

The NHL odds have Florida priced at -130 to win Sunday’s Game 7 to set up a matchup with the Carolina Hurricanes with a spot in the Stanley Cup Finals on the line. Toronto has +110 odds to win the series.

The NHL championship odds have Florida at +475 and Toronto at +850 in the odds of winning the Stanley Cup.

Let’s check out some NHL prop bets for Game 7 in the Panthers vs Maple Leafs series.

Panthers vs Maple Leafs Prediction

The Maple Leafs have lost six consecutive Game 7s, with four of those losses coming to the Boston Bruins. This is the first time that the Panthers and Maple Leafs will square off in a winner-take-all playoff game. Those who bet on the NHL have plenty of options to consider.

The Maple Leafs were written off after losing 6-1 at home in Game 5. However, the first two home games by the Maple Leafs in the series were won by the Maple Leafs 5-4 and 4-3. It would be a great story for Toronto to pull this off, but it is hard to pick against the champs. Score prediction: Panthers 3, Maple Leafs 2.

Top 4 Panthers vs Maple Leafs Parlay Picks

• Leg 1: Carter Verhaeghe 1+ Points (-117)

A team coming off winning the NHL championship has plenty of players who have delivered clutch goals. However, Verhaeghe’s ability to score key goals sets him apart.

Eleven of his 30 career playoff goals have been game-winning tallies. Verhaeghe led Florida in Game 6 with 11 attempted shots – four of them being shots on goal.

When looking at NHL parlay pick options, the -117 odds for Verhaeghe to have 1+ points are worth considering.

Bet on Carter Verhaeghe 1+ Points (-117)

• Leg 2: Max Pacioretty 1+ Points (+210)

It is not unusual for veteran forwards to make NHL news and shine in Game 7s, while the pressure might get to some younger teammates.

Pacioretty had a goal in the Game 6 win for the Maple Leafs to give him six points in this series. Take a look at the +210 odds for Pacioretty to have 1+ points in the NHL picks.

• Leg 3: Toronto Maple Leafs +1.5 Punkline (-230)

Since Florida’s overtime win in Game 3 that kept the Maple Leafs from taking a 3-0 lead, there have been three multi-goal wins in the series with the losing team scoring just once in the three games.

This feels like a game where the teams will struggle to build multi-goal leads. Go with the Maple Leafs to cover when making NHL predictions.

Bet on Toronto Maple Leafs +1.5 Punkline (-230)

• Leg 4: Panthers vs Maple Leafs Under 5.5 (-150)

The Panthers and the Maple Leafs combined for just 39 shots on goal in Game 6 with 35 of those shots coming at even strength. Even though four of the first six games had at least six career goals.

Even though five of the last seven Panthers vs Maple Leafs NHL matchups in the postseason landed over the total. I like this to be another low-scoring game.
