There have been a staggering 25 combined goals through the first three games of the Stanley Cup Final. Two of those games went into overtime, one of which saw double OT to reach a conclusion. Now, the Vegas Golden Knights have a 2-1 lead in the series and host the Carolina Hurricanes once more on Tuesday night. The environment seems ripe for scoring, which we love.
We’re looking towards tonight’s matchup for the best anytime goal scorer picks on DraftKings Sportsbook. Follow along for betting insights, predictions and best bets for who’ll find the back of the net this evening.

Best anytime goal scorer props for Stanley Cup Final Game 4
Sebastian Aho anytime goal scorer (+295)
We get +295 odds on an anytime goal for Sebastian Aho? Yes, please! The pick from the Hurricanes tonight comes via the 28-year-old center, who scored 27 goals in the regular season and has four in 16 postseason games. The star is yet to find the net over the first three games of this series and hasn’t scored over his last four outings overall, however, it feels like one is coming soon. Aho has five shots on goal against Vegas — though he was held without one in Game 3 while working as more of a distributor with a pair of assists — and averages nearly two per game in these Stanley Cup Playoffs. More importantly, he sees over 21 minutes of TOI a night and gets action on the top power-play unit as well. Aho is more than capable of lighting the lamp and opposing netminder Carter Hart has a SV% of just .864 in three games of this series so far.
Pavel Dorofeyev anytime goal scorer (+235)
Man, has this been a dry spell for Pavel Dorofeyev. The Golden Knights’ talented winger has now gone six straight games without scoring a goal, which is now his third-longest stretch without finding the back of the net across both this regular season and the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The guy paced the team with 37 goals in the regular season and is still tied for the second most of any Vegas skater with 10 this postseason, so we know he’s capable of lighting the lamp. At some point, he’ll put the puck where it belongs again. Dorofeyev has been quiet with just one shot on goal in each of the last two games, but he had three shots on goal in the series opener against Carolina and still has 47 in the playoffs, also second most on the team. As the best finisher on this roster with 35+ goals in each of the last two seasons, it feels inevitable that Dorofeyev will strike soon. Now that he holds +235 odds in this market and is listed behind teammates Jack Eichel and Mitch Marner, I like his anytime goal scorer prop even more than before.
