NHL picks, odds, betting lines, schedule: Top expert reveals best bets, parlay for Thursday, April 13 that pays over 11-1

Only two days remain in the 2022-23 NHL regular season with most teams down to their final game before the Playoffs begin on April 17. Several teams, such as the Florida Panthers and the defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche, can improve their playoff positioning with wins on Thursday night. Florida is a -115 favorite over the Carolina Hurricanes in their matchup, while Colorado is a heavy -292 favorite on the moneyline in their contest against the Winnipeg Jets. 

Before locking in any NHL picks or predictions for Thursday, you NEED to see what SportsLine's Jimmie Kaylor has to say.

Kaylor is a betting and DFS expert for SportsLine, who opened the 2022 NFL season by winning DraftKings' NFL Showdown Thursday Kickoff Millionaire contest. He edged out over 355,000 other entrants in the contest and also has multiple five-figure tournament wins on his DFS resume. Kaylor, who uses his background as a former college and professional athlete when making his picks, has been cashing in big on the betting markets in multiple sports all year as well. Anyone following him has seen huge returns.

Now, Kaylor has turned his attention to the NHL Thursday night slate and just locked in his picks, best bets, and parlay. 

We can tell you that one of Kaylor's top NHL picks for Thursday is the Colorado Avalanche and Winnipeg Jets game to go over 6 goals scored at +100 odds (risk $100 to win $100). "While Alexandar Georgiev has been red-hot in net for the Avalanche and is coming off an outstanding performance in Colorado's 2-1 overtime loss to Edmonton, I still see this game totaling seven or more goals on Thursday night. Colorado has plenty to play for, while the Jets are locked into the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference. When it comes down to it, I see the Avalanche scoring four or five times themselves in front of their home crowd at Ball Arena."

Kaylor is also targeted another team in the Eastern Conference that can drastically improve its playoff seeding with a win on Thursday. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any lineups!
