🥅 Best anytime goal scorer pick tonight: Leon Draisaitl (Oilers) anytime goal (+125) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Check out all of our NHL analysis and expert predictions this season.

Leon Draisaitl has owned his matchups against the Blackhawks.

The Oilers star has scored nine goals over his last 10 games versus Chicago, including their only matchup so far this season.

Yes, Draisaitl has been quieter this season by his extremely lofty standards. But for the German centerman, that still means ranking top-10 in the league in goals. FanDuel offers great value at +125 odds.

Sam Bennett (Panthers) anytime goal (+160) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sam Bennett is quietly having his best offensive season as a pro despite a very slow start.

He leads the Panthers in expected goals over his last 20 games, according to MoneyPuck, as Sam Reinhart and Brad Marchand have cooled off.

Bennett has also lit the lamp in four of his previous six meetings with the Sabres, Florida's opponent on Monday.

Brock Nelson (Avalanche) anytime goal (+180) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Brock Nelson has been justifying his surprising inclusion on Team USA with an incredible offensive stretch leading up to the Olympics.

Only Connor McDavid and Nathan MacKinnon have more goals over their last 20 games than Nelson's 15.

While the Maple Leafs have improved on the back end, that matchup doesn't scare me given the talent Nelson has around him to help him find the back of the net. I broke down the entire matchup in my Maple Leafs vs. Avalanche prediction, which expects a Colorado victory.
