NHL parlay predictions Dec. 9

Tuesday’s NHL parlay predictions feature one goalscorer prop and one moneyline bet.

The pregame narrative: Leon Draisaitl and the Edmonton Oilers host the bottom-feeding Buffalo Sabres, and I expect the reigning Rocket Richard winner to score. Elsewhere, look for the Dallas Stars to beat the short-handed Winnipeg Jets.

NHL parlay predictions Dec. 9

Parlay: Draisaitl to score | Stars moneyline (+285)

Draisaitl to score (+125): There’s a solid case to be made that Draisaitl is the best goalscorer on the planet right now, even if he doesn’t currently pace the NHL leaderboard.

  • Draisaitl has three 50-goal seasons in his last four campaigns, scoring 41 in the outlier.
  • In that span, his 200 goals are second only to Auston Matthews (202), and the Maple Leafs’ captain has fallen off considerably.
  • The German is currently on pace for 48 goals after scoring in three of his last four games.

The Oilers’ offence has come alive over the last two games, scoring 15 combined goals against the Seattle Kraken and Winnipeg Jets.

Edmonton should avenge its 5-1 November loss to Buffalo emphatically tonight.

The Sabres are a bottom-10 team in shots and chances allowed on a 60-minute basis, per Natural Stat Trick.

And they’ve now lost three straight games, while letting in seven goals to the Calgary Flames last night.

Other pick

Stars moneyline (-138): Dallas is one of the hottest teams in the league, going 13-1-2 in its last 16 games.

Jake Oettinger is in Vezina form, and Mikko Rantanen is top-five in scoring.

Winnipeg is missing its Vezina (and Hart Trophy) winner, Connor Hellebuyck, who was put on the injury reserve on Nov. 24.

The Eric Comrie/Thomas Milic duo has struggled mightily to fill Hellebuyck’s shoes, posting a miserable .886 SV% in the 10 games since he went down.

Dallas is averaging 3.9 goals during its 10-game point streak (8-0-2) and should get after the rookie Milic tonight.
