NHL Parlay Picks Today: Tuesday, January 27

Wild ML at -230
Blackhawks-Wild Over 6 at -120
Minnesota is a reliable “over” bet at the moment: each of its last eight games have seen a combined total of at least seven goals. A key problem for its defense is Jonas Brodin’s injury. He is a highly respected defenseman, so his loss continues to induce Minnesota to allow high goal-scoring outputs. Count on the Blackhawks to prolong the woes of the Wild defense now that star center Connor Bedard has had plenty of time to regain his form after returning on January 9 from his injury.
While the Blackhawks can score with Bedard operating as the motor of their offense, a Minnesota team that is loaded with playmakers and goal-scorers like Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy will outscore them, just as the Wild lately outscored winning teams like Buffalo, Toronto, and Detroit without losing to teams that are remotely as bad as Chicago. The Blackhawks rank fifth-to-last in goal-scoring defense, making a Minnesota win a sure thing tonight.

Sharks ML at -123
Sharks-Canucks Under 6.5 at -115
San Jose is a solidly improved team that is playing with greater focus. The Sharks reliably bounce back from losses and, what is relevant to tonight's game, take care of business against beatable opponents. In the past month, the teams that beat them were Tampa Bay (x2), Vegas, and Detroit. Those are teams that are more than ten games over .500. Conversely, the Canucks are more than ten games below .500. The Sharks are beating good teams like Minnesota and are always handling teams that are even better than the lowly Canucks.
As for the total, San Jose’s last three wins totaled five goals or fewer. Their wins are reliably low-scoring because of how consistent their defense is in winnable matchups and because their offense has little to do in those games. So, parlay Sharks ML with the "under."

Capitals ML (-137)
Capitals-Kraken Over 6 (-106)
Washington might look like a bad team to back given its recent games, but consider that the Capitals' recent opponents include a strongly improved San Jose squad, defending champion Florida, and the elite Avalanche. While the Capitals have lost two of their last three after playing those teams, the key is the similarity that their opponent tonight has with the team that they beat. They beat Calgary 3-1, and that game actually featured their lowest goal total in their last three games. Most recently, they scored five against Edmonton. A surging Capitals offense will exploit a struggling Seattle defense that has allowed five goals in three of its last four games and four goals or more in four of its last five games. Like Calgary, Seattle lacks scoring talent — the Kraken rank toward the bottom in goal-scoring offense. This is just the team that Washington wants to face.
I wish to parlay Capitals ML with the "over" given Washington's high-scoring tendencies and the struggles of Seattle's defense. The Kraken won't have to do much to ensure an "over." They also do not share the extent of Calgary’s offensive struggles, so they will push the Capitals to score more goals. I'm seeing a 5-2 Washington win.
