Today's NHL same-game parlay picks
Our betting experts have scoured through today's NHL odds to find your best SGP bets for each of the four Game 1s on Sunday's playoff slate:
Maple Leafs vs Bruins same-game parlay (SGP)
Auston Matthews anytime goalscorer
Leafs to score first
Leafs Over 2.5 goals
The first goal of the game will be crucial for the Leafs, and I expect them to start out hot again, but this time, find the back of the net first. Toronto scored first in 58% of its games this season.
For my final leg, I like the Leafs to go Over their team total of 2.5 goals. Toronto boasted the league's best road offense this year, averaging 3.59 goals per game. Plus, Toronto generated a lot of quality chances on Saturday night with 4.54 expected goals. Tonight, it'll convert more on those chances.

Capitals vs Rangers same-game parlay (SGP)
Brady Skjei Over 0.5 assists
Hurricanes moneyline
Under 5.5
Game 2 may not be all that different from Game 1. The Hurricanes and Islanders are both defensive teams with great goaltending between the pipes.
The Isles had trouble solving Frederik Andersen, who finished the season on a 9-0-1 stretch with just 12 goals allowed since returning from injury.

Golden Knights vs Stars same-game parlay (SGP)
Stars moneyline
Jason Robertson Over 0.5 points
Jack Eichel anytime goalscorer
While Dallas’ offense comes from all angles, placing Jason Robertson into a same-game parlay feels like the safest choice. Robertson came nowhere near his career-best season a year ago but still led the team in scoring with 80 points.
He’s a proven playoff performer: In Dallas’ run to the conference finals a year ago, he picked up seven goals and 18 points in 19 games, including Game 1 goals against both the Wild and Golden Knights.
On the Vegas side, Jack Eichel enters on a great scoring run to end the regular season. He capped it with a goal against Anaheim, giving him points in 13 of his final 16 games, which includes 10 goals.
He had a goal and a couple of assists in three games against the Stars this year and should find his way onto the scoresheet in Game 1.

Kings vs Oilers same-game parlay (SGP)
Oilers moneyline
Under 6.5
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins anytime goalscorer
While L.A. spreading the wealth across four lines will limit its offensive upside, it should help the Kings mitigate the last-change advantage of the Oilers. Additionally, these were both excellent defensive clubs and ranked third (Kings, 2.56) and 10th (Oilers, 2.88) goals per game, respectively.
The Kings don’t want to turn this into an offensive track meet and they have the personnel to slow this game down and limit Edmonton’s quality scoring chances.
I’m targeting Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to score because he has positive regression ahead when looking at his shooting percentage.
He posted a 3.6% mark and only scored twice across his final 25 games of the season. After finding the back of the net 37 times with an 18.4 SH% last year, he scored 18 times with a 9.8 SH% in 2023-24.
