🥅 Best NHL goal scorer picks today

🔥 Alex Ovechkin, LW, Capitals (+150) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Alex Ovechkin has started to find his scoring touch of late. He has scored in five of his last seven games with seven total goals during that stretch. That's coincided with the Capitals winning five of six.

Ovechkin faces a Maple Leafs squad tonight that ranks 29th in goals against per game. He's also scored four goals across his previous five head-to-head meetings with Toronto.

Perhaps Ovechkin will find the back of the net on the man advantage: Surprisingly, the player with the most power-play goals in NHL history only has one PPG this season.

With +125 odds being offered at the low end of the market, I love the +150 price FanDuel has. Place a $10 bet there for a chance to win a $15 profit, with an implied probability of 40%.

🔥 Macklin Celebrini, C, Sharks (+130) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Macklin Celebrini's torrid start has him up to 14 goals on the season, tied for third-most in the NHL.

I'm backing the Vancouver native to score against his childhood team this afternoon, as the Canucks have been horrendous on the back end.

They rank 31st in goals against this season, and their woes don't seem to be going away anytime soon, as Vancouver still ranks second-worst in goals allowed over its last 10 games.

DraftKings offers the best odds of the best sports betting sites on a Celebrini anytime goal (+130, 43.48%). A $10 bet there would result in a $13 profit.

🔥 Artturi Lehkonen, LW, Avalanche (+180) ⭐⭐⭐

Artturi Lehkonen only has one goal over his last five games, but the Avalanche winger has been a steady offensive force throughout the season.

He leads all players in expected goals and is second with minus-4.9 goals scored below expected, according to MoneyPuck. That latter figure tells us he's due to pot a couple more sooner rather than later on the Avalanche's league-best offense.

The top price on a Lehkonen anytime goal against the Minnesota Wild this afternoon can be found at FanDuel. The +180 odds translate to an implied probability of 35.71%, with a $10 bet netting $18 in profit.

Speaking of the Avalanche, I broke down why they're the Stanley Cup odds favorite earlier this week as well as provided my best long shot Stanley Cup pick at this point in the campaign.
