🥅 Best anytime goal scorer pick today
Logan Stankoven (+230) at Flyers
Carolina's leading goal scorer in the playoffs has been Stankoven. The second-line center had a five-game goal streak snapped in Game 2 against the Flyers. Now he's well-positioned to light the lamp for the seventh time during the playoffs on the road in Game 3.
Stankoven has logged at least three shots on goal in every playoff game. In fact, Stankoven has only played one game without lighting the lamp this postseason.
Head to FanDuel to bet the best number on Stankoven's anytime goal scorer prop at +230 odds. He's also featured in our Hurricanes vs. Flyers prediction.
🔥 More NHL goal scorer picks
Seth Jarvis (+230) at Flyers
Seth Jarvis led all Hurricanes scorers during the regular season, netting 32 goals in 71 games. He was riding a five-game goal drought until Game 2 against the Flyers. Now that he's out of his slump, expect Jarvis to be dialed in on the road tonight against Dan Vladar.
It helps that Jarvis skates on Carolina's first power-play unit. He's logged at least 2 shots on goal in every game this series, including a four-shot effort that led to his game-tying marker in the third period to mount a comeback against the Flyers in Game 2.
FanDuel continues to offer the best anytime goal scorer prop price, with Seth Jarvis' line available to bet at +230 odds.
Rasmus Ristolainen (+1300) vs. Hurricanes
Rasmus Ristolainen logged a pair of multi-point games during the Flyers' first-round series win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, including a goal in Game 3.
Despite failing to record a point in either game against the Hurricanes, Ristolainen has recorded at least two shots on goal in both starts. He's also featured on the top defensive pairing and second power-play unit, leading to 24 and 28 minutes ATOI.
The price on Ristolainen's anytime goal scorer prop is extremely lucrative at any of the best NHL betting sites, but you can secure the best available odds at bet365. A small 0.25 unit wager at +1300 odds returns 3.25 units of profit, so make sure to bet on Ristolainen to score a goal in Game 3.
🚀 Best NHL goal scorer parlay
When you place a same-game parlay on all three of my goal scorer picks for the Hurricanes vs. Flyers in Game 3 tonight, the odds inflate to 151/1. A 0.25 unit wager hauls in nearly 38 units of profit on bet365, so let's keep it small and have some fun.

💡 How I'm betting NHL goal scorer picks today
Follow all of our NHL analysis and expert predictions this season.
My primary goal scorer picks are on a pair of Hurricanes forwards, Stankoven and Jarvis, to continue being the dynamic threats we've seen all season. Stankoven has scored a goal with the Hurricanes as road favorites in four straight starts.
Jarvis is equally a high-value play based on his historical success against the Flyers. The Hurricanes' leading regular-season goal scorer has logged at least one marker in six of his previous nine starts against Philadelphia.
My long-shot pick is on Ristolainen. He's scored one goal in eight playoff games while recording multiple shots on goal in both starts against the Hurricanes.
I'm allocating 0.5-unit wagers on each of the Hurricanes' anytime goal scorer props. For the long-shot play on Ristolainen at 13/1, I'm keeping it a bit more conservative at 0.25 units. We're risking 1.25 units for a total profit of 5.49 units across these three anytime goal scorer bets.
