Best anytime goal scorer picks for Sunday 5/3/26
Darren Raddysh Anytime Goalscorer (+450)
Raddysh last scored a goal in Game 1, but he has totaled 12 shots on goal, while averaging 12.5 shot attempts per game across the past two outings. He also netted a goal and five shots on goal against Montreal in the second-to-last regular-season game of the season. There was only one goal in Game 6, and I am expecting a low-scoring affair yet again. I trust Andrei Vasilevskiy over Jakub Dobes in a Game 7 situation, especially after his eltie shutout performance in Game 6. As long as Raddysh continues to rip shots from the point, one of them may sneak past, and I’ll take a chance on it at +450 odds. It also certainly helps that he plays on the first power play unit, which could lead to even more high-quality chances.
Nathan MacKinnon Anytime Goalscorer (-110)
There isn’t much value here, admittedly, but MacKinnon scored twice in Game 4 in the first round and has found success against the Wild in previous meetings, scoring at least once in three of the past four meetings. Across four career games against Jesper Wallstedt, MacKinnon has scored in each of them. The Avalanche will also certainly give the Wild far more issues than the Stars did, considering that they rank first in 5v5 goal percentage this postseason, a complete 180 from Dallas, which ranked 15th. Colorado swept Los Angeles in Round 1, but it was still relatively quiet, and it feels like the club is bound to explode offensively soon.
