Three prop picks from Thursday’s 12-game NHL slate have my attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> Brady Tkachuk is a menace in every area of the ice and I expect another high offensive output against the Boston Bruins tonight. I also have picks on Lane Hutson and Yegor Sharangovich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out my NHL prop picks for Jan. 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #107220<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best bet: Tkachuk over 3.5 shots (-112)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Jan. 18, Tkachuk had eight shots against the Bruins in a 6-5 win for his Ottawa Senators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boston isn’t the team it was in past seasons. The red-hot Sens have jumped the Bruins in the standings, claiming the final wild-card position, for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tkachuk ranks second in the NHL in shots per game (4.0) behind only David Pastrnak (4.2), his opponent on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The difference is that Pastrnak’s line is set at 4.5 while bettors can still grab Tkachuk at 3.5 at a good price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if we look at the stats, the Bruins are more vulnerable to giving up shots. They rank in the bottom half of the NHL, allowing 28.6 per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tkachuk also has a knack for peppering Boston’s goal when these two sides meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat: <\/strong>Ottawa’s captain has 20 shots in two games vs. the Bruins this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Hutson to score 1+ points (-132):<\/strong> The second overall pick in 2022 is turning into an elite offensive defenceman very quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hutson has 39 points in 47 games to start his rookie season and is on a major heater right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • He recorded at least one point in nine straight games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Hutson has 13 points during that stretch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      He may be a rookie but the Montreal Canadiens rely on him like a vet. He averages the second-most ice time (22:36) while quarterbacking the first power-play unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The Detroit Red Wings rank bottom 10 in goals allowed (3.2) and shots against (29.1) per game while owning the NHL’s second-worst penalty kill (68.1%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Sharangovich to score 1+ points (+123):<\/strong> Sharangovich started the season on the injured list and hasn’t been as productive as the Calgary Flames would’ve hoped since returning with 14 points in 38 outings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      But he has found some recent chemistry with his linemates after being moved back to the centre position to deal with an injury to Connor Zary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Sharangovich has three points in four games since the move, going 2-2 against this line. It’s nothing spectacular but this is a plus-money pick, after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Additionally, he was recently promoted to the first line on the power play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The Buffalo Sabres provide an enticing matchup, allowing the fourth-most goals per game (3.4). They also take the sixth-most penalty minutes (9.9) while killing penalties at a below-average rate (77.1%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      There should be ample opportunity for Calgary’s forward group on Thursday and I like the value on Sharangovich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
