Nathan MacKinnon anytime goal (+105) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It's gotten to the point where I will back Nathan MacKinnon to score at any plus-money odds. At the halfway mark of the campaign, the Hart Trophy odds favorite is on pace for the NHL's first 70-goal season since 1992-93.

The Lightning back end isn't entering in the best form, either, with at least three goals allowed in four straight games. A devastating offense spearheaded by MacKinnon can certainly take advantage of that against Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

Sam Reinhart anytime goal (+160) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sam Reinhart's stick continues to keep the Panthers afloat amid an up-and-down season for the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions.

Reinhart has four goals across his last four games and scored the only goal in Florida's previous 4-1 loss to the Maple Leafs earlier this season.

I'm backing him at bet365's +160 odds to light the lamp in Toronto again tonight as part of my Panthers vs. Maple Leafs player props.

Zach Hyman anytime goal (+170) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Only Connor McDavid has more expected goals over the last 20 games than Zach Hyman, according to MoneyPuck.

Given the odds difference at bet365 between a McDavid goal (+120) and a Hyman goal (+170) - with an extra $5 of potential profit on a $10 bet - I'm backing the latter.

Hyman has scored in four of his last six appearances entering Tuesday's matchup against the Predators, who allow the eighth-most goals against per game.

Our Gary Pearson offers three different goal scorer picks in his best NHL player props, including McDavid.
