Three NHL fixtures, two sharp parlay combos. We break down the best spread, total, and moneyline value across Wednesday's doubleheader and Saturday's Panthers tilt.
NHL Parlay Picks: Wednesday & Saturday, October 7-10
The National Hockey League slate this week gives us three tasty fixtures to dissect, and the market has left some genuine value on the board. From the Rockies to the Sunshine State, here are the best parlay combinations we've identified across Wednesday's doubleheader and Saturday's Minnesota Wild vs Florida Panthers matchup.
Game Breakdown
Colorado Avalanche @ Winnipeg Jets - Wednesday 20:30 ET
Colorado arrives in Winnipeg as road favourites, priced at -175 on the moneyline at FanDuel. The Avalanche are a high-octane offensive team, but -1.5 on the puck line at +140 (DraftKings) is where the real value sits. Laying -1.5 with a team of Colorado's calibre at plus-money is exactly the kind of bet sharp bettors target. That +140 from DraftKings is generous - the implied probability is just 41.7%, yet a team with Colorado's firepower covering a one-goal spread on the road feels undervalued at that price.
The total is set at 6.5, with the under priced at -110 (FanDuel). Winnipeg has historically been strong defensively at home, and early-season hockey tends to see tighter, more cautious play as lines and systems gel. The under 6.5 looks reasonable here.
Edmonton Oilers @ Anaheim Ducks - Wednesday 23:00 ET
This is one of the cleaner spots on the board. The Anaheim Ducks are in full rebuild mode and the Edmonton Oilers, with Connor McDavid leading the charge, are genuine Stanley Cup contenders. The Oilers moneyline at -125 (BetRivers) is fair, but the real eyecatcher is the Oilers -1.5 spread at a staggering +190 (BetRivers). That is exceptional value for a team that regularly blows out lesser opponents. At +190, the market is implying less than a 35% chance Edmonton wins by two or more - that feels far too generous. Flag this as a value bet alert.
The total sits at 6.5 with the under at +116 (Caesars). Anaheim's defence is rebuilding, which could actually push this game over, but Edmonton's ability to dictate pace cuts both ways.
Minnesota Wild @ Florida Panthers - Saturday 19:10 ET
The Florida Panthers are reigning powerhouse contenders and open as -152 favourites at home (Courtside). Minnesota is a decent side but travelling to Sunrise is no easy task. The Panthers -1.5 puck line at +163 (Courtside) is excellent plus-money value for a team that regularly dominates at home. At implied odds of just 38%, getting Florida to win by two or more at that price is a strong angle. The over 6.5 at +112 (Courtside) also catches the eye - both teams possess genuine offensive weapons and this has the look of a higher-scoring affair.
Recommended Parlays
Parlay 1 - The Value Spread Special (2 legs)
- Colorado Avalanche -1.5 @ +140 - DraftKings
- Edmonton Oilers -1.5 @ +190 - BetRivers
Two elite National Hockey League teams as road favourites covering the puck line at plus-money odds. Stacking these two spread bets gives us a combined parlay price in the region of +599. This is the high-variance, high-reward play of the week. Edmonton at +190 alone is the value bet of the card - parlaying it with Colorado at +140 creates a massive potential payout. Both teams have the offensive depth to win games decisively, and the early-season rust that typically plagues younger rosters should not trouble either of these squads in the same way.
Parlay 2 - The Safer Two-Legger (2 legs)
- Edmonton Oilers ML @ -125 - BetRivers
- Florida Panthers ML @ -152 - Courtside
If you prefer to keep the puck line risk off the table, pairing the two strongest favourites on the moneyline is the more conservative route. The Oilers at -125 represent solid value against a rebuilding Ducks roster, while the Panthers at -152 at home is a price you can defend. Combined, this parlay lands at approximately +118 - modest, but meaningful value for what is essentially backing two genuine contenders in favourable matchups. Think of this as your floor-play parlay.
Parlay 3 - The Mixed Value Accumulator (3 legs)
- Colorado Avalanche -1.5 @ +140 - DraftKings
- Under 6.5 (Avalanche/Jets) @ -110 - FanDuel
- Florida Panthers ML @ -152 - Courtside
This three-legger blends a spread pick, a totals selection, and a moneyline in a diversified accumulator. Colorado covering -1.5 in a tighter defensive game (under 6.5) is a coherent narrative - the Avalanche win 3-1 or 4-2 and both legs cash simultaneously. Combining those two Colorado legs with Florida's home moneyline gives a combined parlay price of approximately +270. This is the best balance of value and probability on the card.
Value Bet of the Week
Edmonton Oilers -1.5 @ +190 (BetRivers) - Getting a Stanley Cup contender at plus-money on the puck line against one of the weakest teams in the National Hockey League is not something the market serves up often. Even as a standalone bet, this is a strong play. Do not overlook it.
