🥅 Best anytime goal scorer pick today: Connor McDavid (Oilers) anytime goal (+110)
Check out all of our NHL analysis and expert predictions this season.
Connor McDavid has a favorable matchup on Thursday against a Sharks squad that ranks 26th in goals allowed.
It will be Edmonton's first look this season at a San Jose team that's back in contention in the Pacific Division for the first time in years, meaning we'll also get a locked-in McDavid as the Oilers look to prove they're still a class above. I'm expecting plenty of goals for both teams and at least one from the world's best player.
🚨 Goals galore in Sharks vs. Oilers
Sharks vs. Oilers is sure to be a barn burner, which is why our Gary Pearson is backing Leon Draisaitl and Macklin Celebrini in his NHL player props and best bets today.
🔥 More NHL goal scorer picks
Cole Caufield (Canadiens) anytime goal (+135)
The red-hot Cole Caufield, who enters on a six-game goal streak, is catching the Avalanche at the perfect time.
While the Avalanche have allowed the fewest goals this season, they've cratered recently with the 11th-most goals against over their last 10 games. Plus, the Canadiens are getting Colorado on the second night of a road back-to-back after the Avs fell to the Senators 5-2 last night.
I'm backing him to score at FanDuel's +135 odds.
Jake Guentzel (Lightning) anytime goal (+155)
Jake Guentzel is back to his goal-scoring ways after a relatively quiet stretch of the season. The Lightning forward is averaging a goal every other game over his last 10 contests (50% hit rate).
That comfortably trumps the 39.22% implied probability that FanDuel's +155 odds translate to, per our odds converter. I love the price we're being offered on a Guentzel goal and am backing him as a result to score against the Jets.
Winnipeg's Connor Hellebuyck is no longer a goaltender you should hesitate to fade, as he's in the midst of one of the worst seasons of his career.
