Maple Leafs vs. Canucks same-game parlay picks: Bet on Maple Leafs and the under
The Toronto Maple Leafs stay out west on Saturday for a contest with the Vancouver Canucks.
The pregame narrative: Toronto’s the better team, so we’re picking the squad to win on the moneyline. The under is a trend coming through for both teams, and we’ll tease the total up for some added insurance. Mitch Marner rounds out our parlay with a wager he’s cashing at an impressive rate.

Maple Leafs vs. Canucks same-game parlay
Parlay: Maple Leafs moneyline + Under 7.5 goals + Marner to score 1+ point (+165)
Maple Leafs moneyline (-210): We’re feeling confident in Toronto’s chances of winning against a Vancouver team that’s among the NHL’s worst.
The Maple Leafs have the fourth-most points in the league (84) while averaging the seventh-most goals per game (3.40) and allowing the fourth-fewest markers per contest (2.63). With wins in four of their last five, they’re looking sharp ahead of this matchup.
The Canucks, meanwhile, are respectably averaging the 10th-most goals per game (3.31) this year, but are conceding the second-most (3.93). They’ve lost four of their last five home games and have the sixth-fewest points (53) in the NHL.
Other parlay picks
Under 7.5 goals (-235): Both teams have been in their fair share of low-scoring games ahead of this one, leaning us in favour of the under.
Vancouver’s gone under this total in three of the team’s last four, scoring an average of 2.5 goals per contest while allowing 2.75.
Toronto’s also fallen short of this number in three of the squad’s last four, holding the opposition to just one goal in three of those outings.
The Maple Leafs have the ninth-best team save percentage (.918) in the league over the last seven days while the Canucks place 10th (.917), according to Natural Stat Trick.
Marner to score 1+ point (-360): With a point in 12 of his last 14 games, Marner’s a threat to reach the stat sheet on a nightly basis. In fact, the Maple Leafs’ superstar has a point in 53 of 62 outings this year.
Toronto’s offence seems to flow through the surging forward, as he has factored on 11 of 17 goals (64.7%) over the team’s last five games.
