Two under-the-radar point producers are highlighted in my NHL prop picks for Friday.
The pregame narrative: The first of two games tonight will be played between the Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues. After that, the Seattle Kraken visit the Utah Mammoth to close out a Western Conference doubleheader.
Check out my NHL prop picks for Dec. 12, featuring Jordan Eberle and Tyler Bertuzzi.

NHL prop picks Dec. 12
Best bet: Eberle 1+ points (-114)
The long-time NHL veteran leads the Kraken in points, but you wouldn't be able to tell by his near even money price tag to get on the score sheet tonight.
- Eberle has 18 points in 27 games played this season.
- That includes recording a point in each of the past four games.
He plays on the top line and skates on the first power play unit. Therefore, he will continue to have a lot of chances to contribute.
-> Bet on Eberle and the Kraken tonight
Eberle also happens to lead Seattle in shots this season (69), making him a standout offensive player on a team lacking star power.
Utah is a strong defensive team, but it's lost three straight games and has allowed four goals in back-to-back contests.
Cracks are starting to form in the Mammoth's defence, and Eberle is playing at his peak right now.
Key stat: Eberle had two points in two games vs. Utah last season.
NHL predictions
Bertuzzi 1+ points (-143): I immediately went to look at Bedard's price to record a point tonight and opted to stay away from his -295 price.
Then I looked at his linemates and decided to back Bertuzzi on a much more reasonable line.
Why Bertuzzi? Well, he's been a huge part of the Blackhawks' offence alongside Bedard on the first line, especially over the past 15 games:
- 13 goals
- 9 assists
- 12-3 against this line

The former Toronto Maple Leaf is certainly making the most of playing with a budding superstar.
And this is a juicy matchup. The Blues allow the second-most goals per game (3.56) behind starting goalie Joel Hofer (.890 SV%).
Back on Oct. 15, Chicago beat St. Louis 8-3, and Bertuzzi scored a goal and added an assist.
