🥅 Best Golden Knights vs. Devils anytime goal scorer prediction

🔥  Pavel Dorofeyev anytime goal scorer (+210) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Pavel Dorofeyev is one of three Golden Knights with 11 goals scored this year. Despite this production, Dorofeyev is riding an eight-game goal-scoring drought. 

New Jersey is expected to deploy Jake Allen as its starting netminder tonight. Allen has allowed five or more goals in two of his past three starts, so Dorofeyev has a great matchup to end his slump tonight. 

Dorofeyev as an anytime goal scorer at FanDuel’s +210 odds (32.26% implied probability) means a $10 bet that wins yields $21 of profit.
