Toronto Maple Leafs vs Detroit Red Wings Same Game Parlay Picks & NHL Best Bets

⭐ Maple Leafs ML (-105)

Our Same Game Parlay picks for the Maple Leafs vs Red Wings game begin with a bet on the visiting team with Toronto, to secure a win within regulation time. 

This prediction leans on Auston Matthews and the Leafs' recent form, having won three of their last four games and being strong contenders for the Eastern Conference title. Additionally, Toronto faces Detroit when the Red Wings are playing on consecutive nights.

Detroit pushed the Ottawa Senators to overtime in their last game but ended up losing. They played James Reimer, who, despite being the backup goalie, has a superior save percentage (.917) compared to the starting goalie Vile Husso. 

Given my current lack of confidence in Husso, I expect the Leafs to score frequently making a Leafs win the first of my Same Game Parlay Picks.

⭐ Over 6.5 goals (-125)

Emphasizing my previous points, we anticipate a high-scoring game, much like yesterday's afternoon matchup. and while another 9-goal spectacle might not occur, a total of 7 goals seems plausible. 

My skepticism about Husso's performance contributes to this expectation, as he has not been the same since his move from the St. Louis Blues to Detroit.

 His arrival was meant to bolster Detroit's goaltending, which had been quite poor, but last season the Red Wings were still just outside the bottom 10 in goals allowed per game.

For the Leafs, defense has been a persistent issue, contributing to their struggle to secure a playoff series win since 2004 until last year. 

This problem persists this season, with Toronto allowing the 7th-most goals per game. Therefore, I'm predicting another game rich in goals as the second part of these Maple Leafs vs Red Wings Same Game Parlay Picks.

⭐ NHL Best Bets: Over 6.5 goals (-125)

⭐ Auston Matthews anytime goalscorer (-105)

I'm going to return to my earlier hint about Auston Matthews continuing his legacy as one of the greatest goal scorers of his era. 

This point is worth reiterating, especially considering his achievement as the first American-born player to hit a 60-goal season. Matthews kicked off the year with consecutive hat tricks and tallied 6 goals in the first 3 games of November.

His prowess is evident as he's currently tied for the NHL lead in goals scored. Notably, he has netted 4 goals in his last 5 encounters with the Red Wings. 

With Detroit's defense likely fatigued from their recent game, I expect Matthews to maintain this trend, so my final selection for the Maple Leafs vs Red Wings Same Game Parlay is betting on Matthews to score anytime.
