Sam Reinhart anytime goal (+155) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

Only Auston Matthews has more goals than Sam Reinhart over the last three seasons, and his shot has been as dangerous as you'd expect of late.

Reinhart has seven goals over his last 10 games ahead of this Winter Classic in the Sunshine State. There's no one else in this matchup I'd rather back to light the lamp.

I also target Reinhart to log multiple points as part of my Rangers vs. Panthers player props.

Sam Bennett anytime goal (+175) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sam Bennett has quietly turned around what was a disappointing start to his 2025-26 campaign, carrying a seven-game points streak into this matchup.

More importantly, he's scored in four of his last six games versus the Rangers.

We might get an extra-motivated Bennett as well after the reigning Conn Smythe Trophy winner was left off Canada's Olympic roster earlier this week.

Will Cuylle anytime goal (+360) ⭐⭐⭐

It's better to target a relative long shot on the Rangers' side, given New York ices the second-worst offense in goals per game.

With that in mind, I love taking a flier on Will Cuylle. He leads the Rangers in expected goals per 60 minutes, according to MoneyPuck.

He's gotten more ice time on the top line recently as well with J.T. Miller out.
