Tuesday night in Philadelphia brings a classic mismatch on paper: the Minnesota Wild (10-3-3) visit the Philadelphia Flyers (4-8-4) at Xfinity Mobile Arena, with puck drop set for 7:00 PM ET. If you are new to betting, this is a great game to learn how a same-game parlay works, because the story is simple and the legs all point the same way.
A same-game parlay, or SGP, just means combining several bets from one game into a single wager. Every leg has to win for the parlay to cash, which is why the payout is bigger than any single leg. Today’s three-leg build: Wild moneyline, over 5.5 total goals, and Matt Boldy to record 3 or more shots on goal. Odds move all day, so confirm the final price and combined payout at your sportsbook before you bet.
A moneyline bet is the simplest wager in hockey: pick the team that wins the game. Minnesota is the favorite at -170 at DraftKings, which means you would risk $170 to win $100. Philadelphia sits around +142 on the other side.
The reasons are easy to see. The Wild have won four of their last five and are allowing only 2.25 goals per game. Goalie Jesper Wallstedt is expected to start, and he carries a 9-2-3 record with a 2.06 goals-against average and a .919 save percentage. The Flyers are giving up 3.31 goals per game through 16 games, and their expected starter, Joseph Woll, is 1-5-2 with a 3.13 GAA and a .899 save percentage. If you want more cushion at a bigger payout, the Wild -1.5 puck line is listed at +145, but it needs a two-goal win, so the straight moneyline is the friendlier choice for a beginner.
A total is a bet on the combined goals scored by both teams. The line is 5.5, so the over needs six or more goals, and it is priced around -130. That price tells you books lean toward the over, but it is not a lock, since the Wild’s stingy defense could keep things quiet.
The case for the over rests on Minnesota’s attack and Philadelphia’s leaky defense. Kirill Kaprizov has 15 goals and 25 points in 16 games, and he has a point in five straight. On the Flyers side, Matvei Michkov leads the team with 10 goals, so Philadelphia has real finishing power even while losing. A Wild win by something like 4-2 clears this number with room to spare, and that outcome fits neatly with Leg 1.
A shots-on-goal prop asks whether a player will fire a set number of shots on net. It is one of the more beginner-friendly props because shots depend on ice time and role rather than on a puck bouncing in. Boldy averages about 3.5 shots per game, plays on a line with Kaprizov and Joel Eriksson Ek, and is projected for over four minutes of power-play time in this matchup.
Public models put his chance of getting 3 or more shots near 65 to 66 percent, and he is projected for around 3.5 shots overall. Sportsbooks also post a 3.5 line on Boldy, so check whether your book offers a 2.5 or 3+ option, since the line you choose changes the price. Because Minnesota should control play against a team that is allowing so many goals, Boldy should get plenty of looks at the net.
Put it together: Wild moneyline, over 5.5 total goals, and Boldy 3+ shots on goal. The story is one script. Minnesota controls the game, scores enough to push the total past five, and its top winger fires away to get his shots. That consistency is what makes this a sensible same-game parlay, because the legs support each other instead of fighting.
Remember that adding legs raises the payout but also lowers the odds of winning, so size your bet small. Before you lock it in, use a betting calculator to see what your payout would be, and compare prices at a book with a good DraftKings promo code offer if you are signing up.
