Maple Leafs same-game parlay predictions vs. Ducks Feb. 17: Bet on Anaheim to cover
The Anaheim Ducks and Toronto Maple Leafs meet on Saturday night.
The pregame narrative: The Anaheim Ducks are playing better hockey recently and are a nice pick to cover a teased-up puck line. There should be plenty of offence with two backup goalies duelling, making the over a nice play. Thirdly, I'm picking Frank Vatrano to notch a point.

Same-game parlay Maple Leafs predictions
Parlay: Ducks +2.5 + Over 5.5 goals + Vatrano to score 1+ points (+265)
Ducks +2.5 (-180): Toronto is playing well lately, but winning by multiple goals has been a challenge.
The Maple Leafs are the worst puck line team in the NHL, with a 16-36 record on that market.
Bettors can bank another goal with the Ducks at a fair price, adding a nice layer of security in the process.
Toronto has won by three-plus goals in just 11 of 52 games this season. As for Anaheim, the team has covered this spread in nine of its last 11 contests.
Other parlay picks
Over 5.5 goals (-195): Martin Jones is starting for Toronto in this contest and his recent performances haven't been pretty.
Jones has an .860 save percentage across his last six starts. The over on this total cashed in every single one of those outings.
John Gibson exited Anaheim's most recent game with an upper-body injury. Lukas Dostal starts in his place and he's been struggling over the last month.
Dostal has made five appearances during this stretch, posting an .897 save percentage.
The over on this total has hit in four of Toronto's last six games.
Vartrano to score 1+ points (-109): Lastly, I'm looking for Vatrano to stay hot.
The Ducks winger scored three points in his most recent outing. He's now registered a point in four of his last five games, totalling seven points during this stretch.
He plays on Anaheim's top power play, and that's a plus for his chances to nothc a point on Saturday. The unit goes up against a Maple Leafs penalty kill that ranks 22nd in the league (78.2%).
Toronto will be without defenceman Morgan Rielly once again, a development that surely doesn't hurt Anaheim's chances at a solid offensive performance.
