🥅 Best anytime goal scorer pick today
Check out all of our NHL analysis and expert predictions this season.
Leon Draisaitl (+145) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Oilers take on the league's worst team on Thursday, and Leon Draisaitl has the better recent track record than Connor McDavid to take advantage of that.
While McDavid shockingly hasn't scored against Winnipeg in nearly four years, Draisaitl has eight goals over his last 10 matchups with the Jets.
And that was against an elite Connor Hellebuyck, who's now having one of the worst seasons of his career. The goaltender ranks just 17th in goals saved above expected after leading the league in that category the last two seasons.
2️⃣ Could Draisaitl double up?
If you're really confident in Draisaitl's chances against the Jets on Thursday, FanDuel offers +900 odds on the Oilers star to score 2+ goals.

Mark Stone (+180) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Despite Vegas' recent struggles, Mark Stone has been on fire over the last month.
The Golden Knights captain carries a five-game goal streak into Thursday's matchup with the Blue Jackets, giving him nine since the start of December.
Stone will have a mismatch to exploit on the man advantage as well, with Vegas' fifth-ranked power play taking on Columbus' 29th-ranked penalty kill.
Cole Caufield (+155) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cole Caufield has almost always come through for the Canadiens in the Atlantic Division rivalry with the Panthers.
He's scored in six of his last eight meetings with Florida, including their only head-to-head matchup this season in late December.
Montreal's leading goal scorer is primed to light the lamp against a Panthers team that ranks fourth-worst in expected goals against over their last 10 games.
