🥅 Best anytime goal scorer pick tonight: Nathan MacKinnon (Avalanche) anytime goal (-115)

Check out all of our NHL analysis and expert predictions this season.

Nathan MacKinnon has success against virtually any team he faces, but he's had a particularly fantastic goal-scoring run against the Senators.

MacKinnon enters Wednesday's matchup with seven goals across five previous games facing Ottawa. The Senators don't have the horses to slow MacKinnon down, with a bottom-tier defense and goaltending by most metrics.

Our Gary Pearson backs both MacKinnon and Brady Tkachuk to score in this matchup as part of his best NHL player props for Wednesday.

🏔️ MacKinnon and Makar have owned Ottawa

A 2-leg parlay at FanDuel on Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar to score greatly improves our odds to +546. MacKinnon and Makar have both scored in two straight games against the Senators.


🔥 More NHL goal scorer picks

Zach Werenski (Blue Jackets) anytime goal (+290)

Zach Werenski is having one of the best goal-scoring seasons by a defenseman in NHL history, leading all NHL blue-liners with 19 goals already.

He also has six goals across eight previous meetings with the Flyers. In what I anticipate being a low-scoring affair, Werenski is far and away the best option to find the back of the net.

Gary Pearson targets Werenski to tally multiple points instead in his Flyers vs. Blue Jackets prediction.

Anders Lee (Islanders) anytime goal (+250)

Anders Lee has been generating consistent offensive chances for the Islanders this season, comfortably leading New York in expected goals, per MoneyPuck.

The Islanders captain has also delivered in the Battle of New York, scoring in two straight games versus the Rangers - both Islanders shutouts.

I certainly view him as worth a wager at FanDuel's +250 odds to light the lamp against the Blueshirts again on Wednesday.
