Anytime Goal Scorer Predictions Today: Best NHL Prop Bets for Friday

There are only four games on the Friday hockey slate, but my NHL anytime goal scorer predictions today still find plenty of value with three top forwards to target.

That includes an under-the-radar goal-scoring threat and an ageless legend playing this afternoon in Sweden.

🥅 Best NHL goal scorer picks today

🔥 Bo Horvat, C, Islanders (+170) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Bo Horvat is the engine for an Islanders squad that surprisingly ices a top-10 offense (3.35 goals for per game) through the first month-plus of the season.

He has 12 goals on the campaign, including five over his last five appearances. Facing a recently porous Utah Mammoth side that has allowed at least four goals in five of its previous seven contests, I love backing the Islanders' No. 1 center to light the lamp on Friday.

DraftKings offers the top price (+170, 37.04% implied probability) of the best sports betting sites. A $10 bet will win $17 if Horvat scores tonight.

🔥 Sidney Crosby, C, Penguins (+165) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

It appears as though Sidney Crosby's game will never falter. At 38 years old, he still leads the Penguins in goals with 11 so far this season, just outside the top 10 league-wide.

His opponent today, the Nashville Predators, allows the third-most goals against per game (3.61). Crosby has scored in each of his last three games versus Nashville, all three of which came against netminder Juuse Saros, who is expected to be in the Predators' goal this afternoon in Stockholm, Sweden.

Back Crosby to find the back of the net at +165 odds (37.74%) at DraftKings, where a winning $10 bet will net $16.50 in profit.

Our Matt MacKay also backs Crosby to score as part of his best Penguins vs. Predators player props.

🔥 Seth Jarvis, RW, Hurricanes (+155) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

How could we not target a Hurricane in a matchup between the NHL's third-ranked offense (Carolina) and 27th-ranked defense (Vancouver Canucks)?

Seth Jarvis leads Carolina in goals and shots on goal. He's scored at least one goal in 50% of his games, which far exceeds the 39.22% implied probability we're getting here.

And I wouldn't be surprised if that rate more or less held en route to Jarvis' first-career 40-goal season, as his 10 goals scored are right in line with his 10.6 expected goals, according to MoneyPuck.

The best odds on a Jarvis anytime goal are +155 at FanDuel, where a $10 bet could bring home a $15.50 profit.
