🥅 Best anytime goal scorer pick today
Nathan MacKinnon (+105) at Wild
Nathan MacKinnon continues to own this matchup against the Wild. When you include the regular season, MacKinnon has scored at least once in six out of seven games versus the Wild this campaign. And he carries a four-game playoff goal-scoring streak heading into Monday night.
Even when the Avalanche are largely stymied offensively, as they were in Game 3, MacKinnon lit the lamp with Colorado's lone goal. At this point, I'm comfortable backing MacKinnon in any game at plus-money odds. FanDuel offers the top value among the best sports betting sites at +105.
🔥 More NHL goal scorer picks
Kirill Kaprizov (+130) vs. Avalanche
We called the Kirill Kaprizov goal-scoring breakout this time last week, and the Wild superstar has since scored in two straight games while tallying four shots on goal in each.
As elite as Kaprizov's passing has become, his most valuable asset is his lethal shot. When the chips are down, as they will be in tonight's crucial Game 4, he won't shy away from seeking a snipe of his own. I'm backing Kaprizov to make it three straight games with a goal at FanDuel's +130 odds.
Our Gary Pearson targets Kaprizov to tally an assist instead as part of his top NHL player props today.
Brock Nelson (+300) at Wild
Brock Nelson has been the most snake-bitten shooter on the Avalanche this postseason, leading the team with minus-1.9 goals scored below expected, according to MoneyPuck.
That's because he's only scored once this playoff run despite being among Colorado's leaders in high-danger shots and medium-danger shots, demonstrating his lack of scoring has nothing to do with an ability to generate solid scoring chances.
I know Nelson - who scored 33 in the regular season - has a better scoring touch than this recent stretch indicates, and I'm backing him to convert one of his many chances tonight in Game 4 at FanDuel's +300 odds.

Combining all three of my goal scorer picks for Monday gives us +1786 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.
It's not often that I'm comfortable making three goal scorer predictions from the same game, but there's too much offensive talent in this matchup for me to shy away from doing so. With all three games in this series featuring at least six goals, there should be plenty of scorers tonight.
Goal scorer picks can be difficult, as represented by thee 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 nearly 1.5 units in profit. Bankroll management is crucial in sports betting, so be smart with yours.
