Three forwards contribute to today’s NHL prop picks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> The New York Rangers bring the best league’s offence into Motor City and I expect Vincent Trocheck to contribute. I’m also backing Tim Stutzle to top his shot total and Jordan Eberle to record a point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find these NHL prop picks for Oct. 17 below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Bet: Trocheck over 2.5 shots (-136)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #97598<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is simple. The Rangers score the most goals per game (5.0), and Trocheck has taken the most shots for them … by a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In three games, the 31-year-old centre has taken 11 shots and has cleared this total in each contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Players like Artemi Panarin have a 3.5 shot total even though the results haven’t been as promising (seven shots).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d rather buy low on the name value and take the guy who’s been peppering goalies this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another encouraging sign is Trocheck’s time on ice. He’s averaging 22:41 per game \u2014 the more he’s out there the more potential there is for shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> The Detroit Red Wings allow the fourth-most shots per game (32.7).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Stutzle over 2.5 shots (+100):<\/strong> This pick is based more on potential than recent outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #97600<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite having six points in three games, Stutzle has cleared this total just once. I predict that to change, however, and that’s because of his shot totals over recent seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stutzle has averaged 2.76 shots per game over his last two years so statistically there’s good value here at plus money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is definitely going against the trend but I’m willing to take a risk on things changing for one of the NHL’s brightest young offensive players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eberle over 0.5 points (+108):<\/strong> Seattle’s captain has points in three of four games and has a relatively good matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #97601<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philly is tied for the six-most goals against per game (4.0) and leads the league in penalty minutes per game (18.3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That should give Eberle a lot of chances to get on the board and add to his point-per-game pace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
