The Knights haven&#8217;t had a dominant performance in some time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>During those six games, Vegas allowed 3.83 goals per game (3+ in every game).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Don&#8217;t miss out \u2014 Bet on New Jersey to win<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That leaves the door wide open for the Devils as underdogs here. Expect them to come through at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong>Sharks\/Stars over 6 goals<\/strong> <\/strong><\/strong>(-112):<\/strong> Dallas is one of the best offensive teams in the NHL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Stars rank in the top five in goals, shots and shooting percentage. They also have the third-best power play.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dallas is red-hot right now, averaging 4.2 goals per game over its past 11 games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other side, the Sharks are pitiful defensively. They allow the most shots against per game (31.7), which leads to over three goals against a night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Make your own NHL parlay at NorthStar Bets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that their offence is capable. They don&#8217;t have the best stats, but sophomore Macklin Celebrini is having an incredible season with 40 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think he can help the Sharks contribute a goal or two to this total, but in reality, the Stars should do most of the heavy lifting here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ovechkin 1+ points (-200):<\/strong> Ovechkin is on an absolute heater right now, and I want in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NHL all-time goalscoring leader is building on his record with 14 goals in 28 games this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exciting part is that most of that contribution came over the past month or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He recorded 12 goals and 10 assists in his last 16 games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>During that time, he&#8217;s 13-3 against this wager<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, this is a partial fade against the Ducks. They rank in the bottom 10 for goals against, shots against and penalty kill percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That plays right into Ovechkin&#8217;s strengths. He leads Washington&#8217;s forwards with 71 shots and has seven points with the man advantage this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>NHL parlay predictions made at 2:48 <\/em>p<em>.m. on Dec. 5, 2025. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Sign up to NorthStar Bets today<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New Jersey Devils are free-falling in the Metropolitan Division standings, but I like them to win in my NHL parlay for Friday.
