I’ve got three NHL prop picks from Thursday’s loaded nine-game slate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative: <\/strong>Martin Necas is thriving and his Carolina Hurricanes are up against a Colorado Avalanche squad with brutal goaltending. I also have plays on Tim Stutzle and Connor McDavid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best bet: Necas to record a power-play point (+150)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Necas is tied for the league lead in points with Kirill Kaprizov and Nathan MacKinnon heading into tonight’s action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s talk about contracts for a second. Carolina’s forward is making $6.5 million AAV, while Kaprizov and MacKinnon are making $9 million and $12.6 million, respectively. Give Huriccanes’ Eric Tulsky a raise because that’s value right there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Necas has been on an absolute tear recently picking up 15 points in his last 11 games, with nine coming on the man advantage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carolina has been a force to be reckoned with at home this season. It has a 9-3-0 record at the Lenovo Center and scored 51 of its 93 goals at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colorado has the sixth-worst penalty kill in the NHL, operating at just 73.1%. Carolina’s power play success rate is over 27%, good for fourth in the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat: <\/strong>The Avalanche have allowed 3.73 goals per game this year, which is the second-most in the NHL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Stutzle to record a power-play point (+145):<\/strong> Similar to the Canes, The Ottawa Senators’ home\/away splits indicate more success at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Home: 6-5-1 record, 3.75 goals\/game<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Away: 4-7-1 record, 2.50 goals \/game<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The German star has been scorching hot as of late, racking up 11 points in his last 10 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Despite its lacklustre start to the season, Ottawa’s power play is third in the league (28.1%). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Stutzle has relished playing Detroit, with six goals and eight assists in 10 games against the Atlantic Division rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Wings have been dreadful on the penalty kill this season, operating at a league-worst 65.3%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    McDavid over 3.5 shots (-106): <\/strong>I made this a play back on Tuesday, and I have no reason to steer away from it tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Edmonton’s captain has been a shots-on-goal machine this season averaging 3.77 per game, fifth most in the NHL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Columbus Blue Jackets have the fifth-worst penalty kill in the NHL, which bodes well with this play, as McDavid leads the Oilers in man advantage time on ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There were zero penalties called in the Oilers’ previous game, but I’d be shocked if that happened again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    McDavid has cleared this mark in nine of his last 11 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
