📡 SBR Edge: Anytime goal scorer predictions (March 26)

Macklin Celebrini (+145) has an A+ matchup against the St. Louis Blues, who are the ninth-worst team in hockey in terms of goal differential; he's the easiest bet on the board for me. Elsewhere, Kirill Kaprizov (+130) is up against the struggling Sergei Bobrovsky and the Panthers, while Jason Robertson (+135) looks to cash again for us vs. the Islanders.

πŸ₯… Best anytime goal scorer pick tonight

Macklin Celebrini (+145) vs. Blues

Celebrini is just four points shy of becoming the first 19-year-old since Sidney Crosby and Wayne Gretzky to hit the 100-point mark, and he'll get one stop closer tonight against a struggling Blues team. St. Louis hasn't found an answer for the kid yet, either - he scored against them earlier this month, and already has totaled four goals in his young career in their head-to-head matchup. The shot volume will be there tonight, fire this one up with confidence as part of our best anytime goal scorer predictions.

πŸ”₯ More NHL goal scorer picks

Kirill Kaprizov (+130) vs. Panthers

Kaprizov is second in the NHL in expected goals (34.4) and should have no problem finding the back of the net against a team struggling defensively. Florida's team save percentage sits at a lowly .874, significantly below the league average of .890, and their goals against per game (3.31) is 26th in the NHL. If the ice begins to tilt, expect Kaprizov to be in the center of it all.

Category Minnesota Wild (Kaprizov) Florida Panthers
Goals For / GP 3.22 (11th) 2.94 (20th)
Goals Against / GP 2.82 (6th) 3.31 (26th)
Power Play / Penalty Kill % 25.0% 81.6%
Kaprizov vs. FLA 6 Goals in 9 Games
  • Puck drop: 7 p.m. ET
  • Puck line: Wild -1.5 (+170)

Jason Robertson (+135) vs. Islanders

Robertson loves to see the Islanders comin' - he scored two goals the last time these two faced off in November and will look for his 40th of the season tonight. New York ranks 30th in the NHL in defensive zone time percentage; they're spending far too much time in their own end, and against a player who ranks 13th in the league in high-danger shots, that smells like a goal to me.

πŸ’‘ How I'm betting NHL goal scorer picks today

Follow all of our NHL analysis and expert predictions this season.

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 heavy slate, I'm not exposing more than half a unit from my bankroll. We're riding with a trio of hot hands tonight, who are all going up against teams that struggle defensively. However, while I like all three of these plays, it's important to remember that goal-scorer props can be difficult to predict, so it’s 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.
