💰 Anytime goal scorer predictions for Oct. 21

Our NHL player prop odds tool shows the best odds for every market across legal sportsbooks in your area.

🔥 Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, C, Oilers (+240) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is tied with Leon Draisaitl for the Oilers' team lead in goals (four) and shooting percentage (28.6%) this season. But Nugent-Hopkins' odds to score tonight make him a more valuable target than Draisaitl (+115) at the best sports betting sites.

Despite Edmonton slumping with three straight road losses, the team couldn't have a better matchup than the Senators. Not much is going right for Ottawa defensively right now, with the most goals allowed league-wide and the NHL's second-worst penalty-kill percentage (55.56%).

Facing struggling Senators netminder Linus Ullmark (.848 SV%, 3.99 GAA), I'm expecting an offensive explosion for Edmonton and Nugent-Hopkins tonight in Ottawa.

Find the best odds for this play at BetMGM, where a $10 bet will win $24 with an implied probability of 29.41%.


🔥 Bo Horvat, C, Islanders (+145) ⭐⭐⭐

Like with Nugent-Hopkins, this anytime goal scorer prediction is also a perfect combination of an in-form offensive player matching up against horrendous defense and goaltending on the other side.

Horvat has a team-high four goals through five contests, and he's getting it done in all game states. He has two even-strength goals, one on the power play, and one shorthanded.

The Islanders' No. 1 center looks to continue that all-around play against a winless Sharks team that is tied with the Senators for last place in goals against per game (5.00).

The shorter odds make this a three-star play, but I still like the +145 odds (40.82%) we're getting at FanDuel. A successful $10 wager will profit $14.50.

🔥 Dylan Guenther, LW, Mammoth (+210) ⭐⭐⭐

Dylan Guenther loves playing the Colorado Avalanche.

The Utah forward has scored in two of his last three, including their only head-to-head matchup this season. He beat Scott Wedgewood that night, who is expected to get the call on Tuesday for the Avalanche. He also scored on Wedgewood twice last season.

Yes, Colorado is red-hot right now, but this an opponent and goaltender that Guenther knows well. Let's bet on that trend to continue.

FanDuel is offering +210 odds (32.26% implied probability), with a $10 bet winning $21 if Guenther lights the lamp. Our Gary Pearson featured two more goal scorers in his NHL player props today, including Avalanche star Nathan MacKinnon in this contest versus the Mammoth.
