The new NHL week starts off with quite a light Monday, as we have just 2 games on the slate. However, they are far from meaningless. Plenty is still left to be decided in the Eastern Conference, and the defending Stanley Cup-champion Vegas Golden Knights are simply worried about making the postseason at all this year. We're not going to force any picks, but there is a spot that we love in that Golden Knights game, so let's break down the best of our NHL prop bet picks for today.

Jack Eichel over 3.5 shots on goal (-120)
Over 3.5 shots on goal (-120) available at time of publishing. Playable to -135.
One of the reasons that Vegas has been quite as strong this year is due to missing superstar Jack Eichel for several games. Injuries have plagued his career since his time with the Buffalo Sabres, but his issues now are not nearly as serious. He's been back on the ice and in a big way. While his 251 shots so far this season isn't the largest raw number, based on how many games he's played, his shots per goal are the 5th-most in the NHL (4.40/game).
