Vincent Trocheck Goals Prediction: Under 0.5 vs Devils — March 18 NHL Pick
Vincent Trocheck's goals prop is a sharp Under play on Wednesday night's Rangers-Devils matchup. The New York Rangers center faces a stingy New Jersey defense on March 18, and our model projects Trocheck to fall short of the 0.5-goal line. Here's why we're backing the Under at -400 odds.
Vincent Trocheck Stats & Recent Form
Trocheck has been a reliable two-way forward for the Rangers this season, but his goal-scoring pace has slowed considerably over his last five games. The veteran center is averaging just 0.4 goals per game in that stretch, with only two goals in his past dozen contests. While he remains a fixture in the Rangers' lineup, Trocheck is a setup man first—his assist numbers are solid, but he's not a volume goal scorer. His season goal total sits well below his assists, reinforcing his role as a facilitator rather than a primary finisher.
Matchup Analysis: New York Rangers vs New Jersey Devils
The Devils rank in the top 10 defensively this season and have been particularly stingy against mid-tier forwards in recent weeks. New Jersey's penalty kill is also elite, which limits Trocheck's power-play opportunities—traditionally his best scoring chances. The Rangers will likely lean on their top-six scorers (Panarin, Zibanejad) in this divisional battle, leaving Trocheck in a secondary role. Vegas respects the Under here at -400, a sharp price that reflects New Jersey's defensive strength and Trocheck's modest goal output.
Our Trocheck Goals Prop Pick for March 18
We're backing the Under 0.5 goals at -400 odds. Trocheck simply doesn't score enough in these matchups to justify playing the Over, and the Devils' defense will keep him off the scoresheet. This is a high-confidence Under play for your Vincent Trocheck prop prediction on March 18.
