🔥 Alex Ovechkin, LW, Capitals (+110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Alex Ovechkin is looking like himself again after a slow start and has begun his climb back up the goal leaders list. Only Jason Robertson and Brandon Hagel have more goals than Ovechkin's nine over the last 10 games.

Friday's Capitals-Ducks matchup features two of the league's top four offenses. But given Anaheim also has to contend with a Washington defense allowing the second-fewest goals per game, Ovechkin is the skater to back tonight.

FanDuel has +110 odds on an Ovechkin anytime goal, while some of the best sports betting sites are offering minus-money odds at the low end of the market. Place your $10 bet at FanDuel for the chance to win an $11 profit, with an implied probability of 47.62%.

🔥 Mikko Rantanen, LW, Stars (+155) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tonight will mark Mikko Rantanen's first contest against the Sharks since he joined the Stars, but he scored in three of his last four games versus San Jose as a member of the Avalanche. He's also scored in two consecutive games this week.

Dallas has beaten San Jose in six straight matchups, four of which featured at least five Stars goals. I love Rantanen's chances of getting involved in the scoring again on Friday.

Among the best sports betting apps, FanDuel offers the top value on a Rantanen anytime goal at +155 (39.22%). A winning $10 bet will net $15.50 in profit.

🔥 Logan Cooley, C, Mammoth (+235) ⭐⭐⭐

Logan Cooley only has one goal over his last five outings, but the Mammoth's leading goal scorer couldn't ask for a better matchup tonight.

He's found the back of the net in three of his last four head-to-head meetings with the Canucks, who are the league's worst team through the first third of the season.

Vancouver ranks dead last in goals against per game, and that dreadful performance bears out in the underlying numbers: the team has the highest expected goals against at five-on-five, according to MoneyPuck.

DraftKings' +235 odds slightly trump FanDuel's +230. A $10 bet will win a $23.50 profit if Cooley scores, with an implied probability of 29.85%.
