An all-Canadian matchup between the Winnipeg Jets and Montreal Canadiens serves as the backbone of today’s NHL parlay picks.
The pregame narrative: Both squads are struggling north of the border, and there’s value to be had in taking the over at Bell Centre. Elsewhere, I’m looking for the Dallas Stars to cover as puck-line underdogs against the New Jersey Devils.

NHL parlay predictions Dec. 3
Parlay: Jets/Canadiens over 6 goals | Stars +1.5 | Smith 1+ point (+355)
Jets/Canadiens over 6.5 goals (+100): Montreal has lost seven of its last 10 games, and Winnipeg has dropped five of its last six. Someone is going to grab a win tonight, but I don’t want to pick a side.
That’s because both teams are dealing with goaltending issues.
- Montreal played and lost 5-2 last night with Sam Montembeault in net. That means Jakub Dobes is likely to start. He has a 3.22 GAA and .888 SV%.
- Dobes has started in nine straight games with 7+ goals scored.
- Conner Hellebuyck is out for Winnipeg. Backup netminders Eric Comrie and Thomas Milic both have sub-.900 SV%’s and GAA’s above 3.10.
- Winnipeg has 6+ goals in six of seven games since Hellebuyck’s injury.
-> Don’t miss out — take the over in Montreal here!
These are two good offensive teams with plenty of star power up and down the lineup. I expect this to turn into a track meet.
Other picks
Stars +1.5 (-265): This pick feels pretty safe given Dallas’ current form.
The Stars are 10-3 in their last 13 games, covering a +1.5 puckline in each of the losses. In that span, they’re averaging a blistering 4.07 goals per game.
For some added context, the league-leading team in goals/game is the Colorado Avalanche at 4.08. No other team sits above 3.62.

New Jersey is a good team, but is missing Jack Hughes for the foreseeable future.
The Devils have only won by two-plus goals once in their last 12 games.
Smith 1+ points (-154): Macklin Celebrini is the face of San Jose’s franchise, but Smith is pretty good, too.
The second-year forward is on pace for an 82-point campaign and has been tearing it up alongside Celebrini at 5v5.
Smith has five goals and six points in his last three games and has cashed this bet in six of his last eight.
The Sharks are home underdogs against the Washington Capitals tonight, but I still expect San Jose’s young guns to contribute.
Washington is on a back-to-back and is playing its fourth game in six nights.
