Best Anytime Goal Scorer Picks Today
Kings’ Adrian Kempe (+140)
The Los Angeles Kings Adrian Kempe has 13 goals this season. He is in the 95th percentile for total shots on goal. His shooting percentage of 13.1% is slightly above the league average of 12.6%. Kemper is a hard hitter who has hit his hardest shot at 91 mph which is in the 92nd percentile of the league.
Kempe is also taking advantage of the worst defense in the league, the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Blue Jackets concede 3.5 goals per game. Kempe will continue to find the back of the net coming off of a two goal performance against Tampa.
We like Kempe to get on the scoreboard tonight at +160 NHL betting odds.
Lightning’s Jake Guentzel (+140)
Yes, we are going back to the well with Jake Guentzel of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Guentzel has quietly become one of the best bets in this market. He has 15 goals through 34 games. He has a 16.3% shooting percentage. Guentzel has 58 high danger shots on goal this season, which is 1st in the NHL. We like Jake Guentzel’s betting odds to score anytime at +140 NHL betting odds.
Jake Guentzel has a great matchup tonight against the St Louis Blues who allow 3.42 goals per game, 8th worst in the NHL and have a bottom tier penalty kill of 77.53%.
Ducks Cutter Gauthier (+175)
Cutter Gauthier of the Anaheim Ducks is an exciting rookie who has 18 goals. He is averaging over four shots per game. He is highly efficient on the power play. Gauthier leads the Ducks in goals. This is not surprising given that he leads the NHL in average shots per game at 4.6. He also has a +5.21 goals above projected which is 13th in the NHL. He finishes more difficult chances than the average player.
We are also attacking the Seattle Kraken defense, who have the lowest penalty kill percentage of 68.5% in the NHL this season. Going against the league’s weakest penalty kill, Cutter Gauthier will have an opportunity to add to his 4 power play goals that he has scored this season. We have a high volume shooter going against a vulnerable defense so we like Cutter Gauthier to score in this matchup.
Sleeper Goalscorer Picks Today
Kings Quinton Byfield (+290)
We are taking a shot on Quinton Byfield, who is performing below his usual level this season. Byfield is off to a tough start but once again we are going to attack the weak Blue Jackets defense. Although Byfield only has four goals so far this season, we expect some positive shooting regression. Byfield’s career average is a 10.7% shooting percentage but so far this season he is only at 5.6%. We expect that to change tonight.
Of course, this is a long shot but the NHL odds reflect that possibility. When making these types of plays we want to attack a weak defense, and the Columbus defense that averages 3.5 goals per game fits the bill.
Kraken Matty Beniers (+275)
Matty Beniers is another player who has struggled with consistency and only has four goals on the year. However, he is in the 90th percentile for shot power at 90 miles per hour and he is in the 96th percentile for total skating distance, making him highly active in the offensive zone. He is another player who is shooting below his career average. This season he is at 9.1% shooting percentage, yet his career average is a shooting percentage of 13.3%. Beniers is a fixture on the Kraken power play and faces Anaheim’s weak 75.9% penalty kill.
In making this pick, we are also targeting a player whose season long statistics do not accurately reflect role and opportunities tonight. This is a key example of targeting positive shooting regression to make +EV picks.
