Same-game parlay Maple Leafs predictions

Parlay: Jets moneyline + Over 5.5 goals + Ehlers to score 1+ points (+275)

Jets moneyline (-132): Winnipeg will likely turn to Connor Hellebuyck on Saturday and good things tend to happen when the team does.

The Jets have won 23 of his 34 games played this season, including 13 of 17 since the start of December. They've also been a very difficult squad to beat at home. Winnipeg is a dominant 16-6-2 at Canada Life Centre.

The goaltending edge in this matchup alone is enough to side with the Jets. Toronto turns to Ilya Samsonov and although his last two starts have been solid, he still boasts an .875 save percentage on the season.

Other parlay picks

Over 5.5 goals (-148): The over is always in play when Samsonov tends twine.

Despite putting two solid starts together, the Russian puck-stopper has allowed three-plus goals in five of his last seven while the over has hit at the same frequency.

Toronto's overs mark of 53.3% on the season is the 12th-highest in the NHL.

Ehlers to score 1+ points (-136): If Winnipeg's offence is going to have a solid night, Ehlers will likely factor in.

Like the entire team, Ehlers was held off the score sheet on Wednesday. The star forward still has a point in eight of his last 11, however, and is second on the team with 35 points.

Ehlers has a point in 21 of Winnipeg's 30 wins this season, meaning there's positive correlation when combining him to notch a point and a Jets victory.
