The Chicago Blackhawks host the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> The Lightning hope to come out of Friday’s contest with two points and maintain their wild-card position in the Eastern Conference. I’m backing Tampa forwards Nikita Kucherov and Brandon Hagel while fading the Hawks’ Teuvo Teravainen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out my Lightning vs. Blackhawks props for Jan. 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to full NHL betting markets<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #107444<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best bet: Hagel over 2.5 shots (-143)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hagel has become one of the more underrated players in the NHL even after making the Canadian 4 Nations team, coached by a familiar face in Jon Cooper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Saskatoon native is coming off back-to-back 60-point seasons, including his first 30-goal campaign in 2022-23. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His 133 shots this season are on pace to smash his 173 career 82-game average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blackhawks rank 30th in shots allowed\/per game (31.2) and allow the most high-danger goals per 60 (1.74), according to Natural Stat Trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> Hagel has cleared this mark in five of the last six games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Kucherov over 0.5 power-play points (-130):<\/strong> Father time is undefeated, but Kucherov is aging just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a marvellous 144-point season a year ago, the now 31-year-old is putting up similar numbers, pacing just below that mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kucherov reached the 70-point mark last game against the Montreal Canadiens and leads Tampa with 27 power-play points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chicago allows the fourth-most goals\/game (3.43), including ample high-danger opportunities, as previously mentioned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lightning own the sixth-ranked power play (26.7%) and score the most goals\/game in the NHL (3.61).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teravainen under 0.5 points (-130):<\/strong> I’ve yet to mention that the Hawks have trouble on offence as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • 31st in goals\/game: 2.6<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 32nd in shots\/game: 25.1 <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • T21st in shooting percentage: 10.3%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Teravainen and company will try to score on the 10th-ranked goaltending tandem, with a season team goals-against average of 2.83.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Finn has just 33 points in 47 games this season in his first year with Chicago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
