🥅 Best NHL goal scorer picks today

🔥 Tage Thompson, RW, Sabres (+120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Buffalo Sabres forward Tage Thompson isn't quite achieving the goal-scoring you'd expect from him this season, but he has an incredible matchup to target tonight.

Thompson ranks top five in the league in shots on goal but has just five goals in 13 games to show for it so far after he led the league in even-strength scores last season.

Enter the St. Louis Blues, a balm for any scorer's ails. They rank dead last in goals against per game and ice the NHL's 30th-ranked penalty kill.

Back Thompson to score at +120 odds (45.45% implied probability) at DraftKings to take home a $12 profit on a $10 bet.

If these three goal scorers aren't enough to satisfy, I give one more in my Capitals vs. Penguins player props.

🔥 Drake Batherson, RW, Senators (+195) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ottawa Senators winger Drake Batherson has scored twice in each of his last two games against the Boston Bruins, with six points total - one of those three-point nights came just a week and a half ago.

And this is another plus target in terms of opponent. Boston, which is playing on the second night of a back-to-back, ranks 27th in goals against per game and was lit up for seven by the Senators in October.

Among the best sports betting sites, DraftKings has the best odds on this prop at +195. That carries an implied probability of 33.90%, while a $10 bet could bring home $19.50 in profits.

Our Gary Pearson targets Batherson to pick up an assist instead in his NHL player props for today.

🔥 Tomas Hertl, C, Golden Knights (+230) ⭐⭐⭐

Vegas Golden Knights center Tomas Hertl is one of Vegas' few scorers who is producing as expected when you dig into the underlying numbers.

The team's red-hot offensive start has already begun to taper off, and while Jack Eichel and Pavel Dorofeyev still rank toward the top of the league in goals, they both have scored roughly three more goals than expected, per MoneyPuck.

Meanwhile, Hertl has scored five goals on 5.4 expected, including goals in back-to-back games. I love backing Hertl's sustainable play tonight, especially at the price that's offered.

We're getting great odds here from FanDuel compared to the +185 DraftKings is offering. A winning $10 wager at FanDuel will net a $23 profit with an implied probability of 30.30%.

Our Matt MacKay is also backing Hertl to score tonight while offering two more picks in his Lightning vs. Golden Knights player props.
