Best NHL Anytime Goal Scorer Bets for October 22
Beckett Sennecke Anytime Goal Scorer (+210)
It has been a slow-ish start for the Ducks this season, and they enter tonight’s matchup riding a four-game losing streak. During this span, they’ve averaged just 2.0 goals for per game, while allowing 4.0 goals against per game. Sennecke leads the club with five goals thus far, and he’ll face the Devils, who have allowed the 11th-most goals against per game. Nico Daws was seen participating in New Jersey’s morning skate today, and he sports a 3.38 GAA and .857 SV% across three appearances this season. Sennecke has been held off the stat sheet the past two games, but he still averaged 3.5 shots on goal and 6.5 shot attempts per game. Anaheim has done a lot of line-shifting so far, and three of its top four offensive lines in terms of xGoals% have included Sennecke. He is the common denominator here, and he ranks fourth on the team in xGoals per 60 and third in goals per 60.
Kirill Kaprizov Anytime Goal Scorer (+105)
I find it hard to imagine the NHL’s leading goal scorer NOT scoring a goal tonight against arguably the worst goaltending team in the NHL. The Flames have allowed 4.63 goals against per game, good for the second-highest average in the league, and the craziest part is that they rank 11th in PK%, suggesting that the vast majority of their goals against come at 5v5. The Wild are a middling 5v5 team, ranking 17th in 5v5 goals per 60, but they’re also a top-five team in PP%. Calgary has yet to confirm a starting goaltender, but both on the roster sport GAAs of 4.00 or higher and SV% marks of .875 or lower. Both Dustin Wolf and Devin Cooley rank inside the bottom-15 in goals saved above expected and SV% above expected. Kaprizov ranks seventh in the NHL in goals per 60, third in xGoals per 60 and first in high-danger chances.
