🥅 Best anytime goal scorer pick today

Logan Cooley (+210) at Golden Knights

I love the way Logan Cooley has been playing this postseason for Utah alongside Dylan Guenther and Kailer Yamamoto. That line has put consistent pressure on the Vegas back line and exposed the Golden Knights' shaky goaltending. 

Golden Knights goaltender Carter Hart has been dreadful the last two games, allowing four goals in each with a .814 save percentage. Cooley is my target on the Mammoth to beat Hart and score his third of the series, as he's tied for the Mammoth lead in high-danger shots in the playoffs, per MoneyPuck. I placed my wager at FanDuel's +210 odds. 

🔥 More NHL goal scorer picks

Jake Guentzel (+190) vs. Canadiens

Jake Guentzel has consistently been creating high-danger chances against the Canadiens and finally broke through with his first goal of the series in Game 4.

Guentzel has a long history of being a postseason performer, particularly as a goal scorer. He has 42 career playoff goals and a 0.54 goals-per-game average that actually exceeds his regular-season clip. That's why I'm confident in Guentzel finding the back of the net again in Game 5 in Tampa, where he scored 24 of his 38 goals in the regular season (63%). FanDuel offers the best value on a Guentzel anytime goal at +190 odds, but there's value up to +175.

Pavel Dorofeyev (+205) vs. Mammoth

Pavel Dorofeyev, the Golden Knights' goals leader the last seasons, scored his first of this postseason in Game 4, an even-strength mark to open the scoring in Vegas' victory.

But I'm forecasting Dorofeyev to break through on the man advantage, as he ranked second in the league with 20 power-play goals for Vegas' elite special-teams unit in the regular season. The Mammoth's mediocre PK has held on admirably so far this series, but I'm not convinced that's sustainable. That clearly should be a plus-matchup for Dorofeyev and the Golden Knights - I think we finally see that play out as expected tonight in Las Vegas in Game 5.

Our Gary Pearson targets Dorofeyev's teammate, Jack Eichel, on Wednesday in his NHL player props today, alongside Sidney Crosby, Brandon Hagel, and Dylan Guenther.

🚀 Best NHL goal scorer parlay

Combining all three of my goal scorer picks for Wednesday gives us +2597 odds at FanDuel, the best price among the best sports betting apps. The long odds demonstrate how difficult this will be to nail, so I'm only wagering 0.1 units on it.

💡 How I'm betting NHL goal scorer picks today

Follow all of our NHL analysis and expert predictions this season.

My goal scorer predictions are staying away from Penguins vs. Flyers today, as that series' scoring has been spread out among so many different individual players, making a prediction very tough. Goal scorer picks can be difficult, as represented by their plus-money odds. It's important not to get carried away with your bet sizes. That's why I'm wagering my standard 0.2 units on each. Nailing two of three predictions would result in a profitable night, while winning all three would bring home over a full unit in profit. Bankroll management is crucial in sports betting, so be smart with yours.
