πŸ₯… Best anytime goal scorer pick today

Tage Thompson (+140) at Penguins

The Buffalo Sabres are scorching hot right now, winning seven of their last 10 games, and Thompson is a big reason why. Thompson has scored a goal in four of his last seven games as part of a Buffalo offense that ranks second in five-on-five goals, per MoneyPuck. When it comes to individual scoring, only Nathan Mackinnon has more even-strength goals this year than Thompson. Let's fire him up with confidence as part of our best anytime goal scorer predictions today. I'd play this price all the way down to +120.

πŸ”₯ More NHL goal scorer picks

Jake Guentzel (+170) at Jets

Time to get back on that horse, Guentzel. Jake hasn't scored a goal in a month and is absolutey due while going up against a team in the top 15 for expected goals against. The Jets are also top 15 in penalty minutes, which should give us a better opportunity to cash this play with Guentzel riding on PP1 for Tampa.

Dylan Guenther (+200) at Flyers

Guenther is a stud, there's no two ways about it. If you argued he should have played for team Canada at the Olympics I'd be on your side. Guenther ranks 13th in the NHL for goals above expected, and gets a team that loves to take trips to the penalty box - the Flyers are seventh in the NHL in penalty minutes. Let's see him hit twine tonight.


πŸ’‘ How I'm betting NHL goal scorer picks today

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

Bankroll management is a crucial element for a long-term, successful betting strategy.

The number of units I wagered reflects how confident I am in each player's chances of scoring. I have the most faith in Thompson, which is why I’m placing a full unit on him to find the net. While I like Guentzel and Guenther in this spot, they're going up against better defenses and slighly hotter goaltending. Goal-scorer props can be difficult to predict, so it’s important to be strategic with your wager sizes. Keep these plus-money plays below one full unit.
