Follow all of our NHL analysis and expert predictions this season.
Cutter Gauthier (+175) vs. Predators
Gauthier has been a steady source of production for the Ducks since returning to full health, consistently creating high-quality shots, scoring two goals against the Canucks just a handful of days ago. Tonight, he faces a Nashville Predators squad that has struggled on 5-on-5 recently. With his linemates stretching the ice, Gauthier should see a high volume of looks as he looks to end his 2025-26 campaign on a high note.

Macklin Celebrini (+135) vs. Jets
Despite the Sharks being out of the playoff hunt, Celebrini has not slowed down, averaging nearly four shots per game this month. He faces a Winnipeg team that has shown vulnerabilities lately, allowing 18 goals over the last three games. It's time for Celebrini to cap his great season off in style.

Adrian Kempe (+155) vs. Flames
The Kings have officially secured a playoff spot, but Kempe is still playing for keeps, scoring a goal in each of his last two games. He currently averages 0.34 expected goals per game and remains the focal point of the Los Angeles power play. Facing a Calgary team that has struggled to protect home ice all season, Kempe is the best bet to find the back of the net for the Kings tonight.

π‘ How I'm betting NHL goal scorer picks today
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. On a light slate, I'm fine with exposing a full unit in a mismatch like the one we're seeing with Gauthier. We're riding with a trio of hot hands tonight. However, while I like all three of these plays, it's important to remember that goal-scorer props can be difficult to predict, so itβs crucial to be strategic with your wager sizes. For the most part, I keep these under one unit unless the data suggests leaning more into my bankroll.
