Only three games remain before the NHL goes into its annual All-Star break, and all three games will be played on Wednesday night. The two Southern California teams are both in action, and another game will take place in Detroit, which is not far from Toronto, where the All-Star festivities get under way with a player draft on Thursday. Let’s take a closer look at some best bets heading into the break.

Best NHL Parlays Picks Tonight - Wednesday, Jan. 31: 3-Leg Parlay Picks (+320) Ottawa Senators vs. Detroit Red Wings Prediction and Pick

The Ottawa Senators face the Detroit Red Wings for the fourth time this season on Wednesday night, and the host Wings will be looking to even the season series at two games apiece. After losing the first matchup 5-2 at home, Ottawa came back to beat Detroit on Nov. 16 in Stockholm, Sweden, before routing the Wings 5-1 on Dec. 9 at Detroit. All three earlier matchups were high-scoring games, and Wednesday night should be no exception. Both teams play little to no defense and both teams have been successful in the offensive zone, particularly Detroit, which is fifth in the NHL for goals per game.  Give me the over on this total, because plenty of goals will be scored on Wednesday.

Leg-1 Parlay Pick: Over 6.5 (-165)
Los Angeles Kings vs. Nashville Predators Prediction and Pick

If you like high-scoring matchups, then this will not be your game. When the Los Angeles Kings and Nashville Predators meet for the second time this season, we can expect to see another defensive battle. In their first matchup on Jan. 18, no goals were scored in two of the game’s three periods, and Nashville came away with a 2-1 win. This game will have a similar outcome because nothing has changed in the past two weeks, and both offenses remain mediocre. The Kings are also one of the NHL’s best defensive teams -- allowing the league’s third-fewest shots and the fifth-fewest goals per game this season. Look for Los Angeles to lock the Predators down on defense as the Kings go for a revenge win in this second meeting.

Leg-2 Parlay Pick: Under 6.5 (-140)

San Jose Sharks vs. Anaheim Ducks Prediction and Pick

The last game to take place before the NHL All-Star Game won’t necessarily be pretty because it involves two of the league’s three worst teams. Indeed, Wednesday night’s meeting of the San Jose Sharks and Anaheim Ducks (10:30 p.m. ET start time) promises to be very sloppy game. The Sharks will be playing the second game of a back-to-back set, but they will also be coming in very confident after upsetting Seattle 2-0 on Tuesday night. The only reason I tend to favor the Ducks here is because they are better rested. Anaheim has had three straight nights off, while San Jose played last night and had to travel immediately afterward. In any case, I wouldn’t favor the Ducks in this one because I think they’re a particularly good team, as that is definitely not the case. This will be the third meeting of these teams in 2023-24, and the current season series is tied 1-1. I don’t love making this pick, but going with the Ducks on the moneyline is my play here. I don’t see a San Jose win happening because the Sharks are a historically bad team this season. While the Ducks are only slightly better, the difference is enough for them to win this game.

Leg-3 Parlay Pick: Anaheim Ducks ML (-190)
Los Angeles Kings vs. Nashville Predators Prediction and Pick

Unfortunately, we have only three games on this Wednesday night slate, so at least two legs of my four predictions have to come from the same game. Let’s go back to the Los Angeles-Nashville matchup for our final pick. As mentioned earlier, I love the under in this matchup, because I definitely see this as a low-scoring affair. Although both offenses have been inconsistent this season, the Kings have the advantage defensively, and that should be enough to get Los Angeles over the hump and avenge its earlier loss to Nashville. Give me the Kings to come out on top in this one as a bonus play.

Bonus Pick: Los Angeles Kings ML (-120)
