Best NHL Anytime Goal Scorer Picks for November 10
Jack Hughes Anytime Goal Scorer (+140)
Hughes has found the back of the net seven times over his past 10 games, and his team-high nine goals still trail his 10.51 xGoals. Among 593 skaters with at least 100 minutes of ice time, the 25-year-old ranks sixth in both xGoals per 60 (1.70) and shots on goal per 60 (11.80).
The 5v5 play hasn’t been that great, as his three goals sit well below his 6.44 xGoals, but his 1.31 5v5 xGoals per 60 rank seventh among skaters with 100+ minutes at 5v5. Winnipeg’s penalty kill ranks 25th (71.7%), and Hughes skates with the first power-play unit, so he should see plenty of opportunities tonight. He has scored in four of his eight road outings, too.
Alex Tuch Anytime Goal Scorer (+200)
Linus Ullmark (lower body) won’t play Tuesday despite being activated from injured reserve Sunday, so Samuel Ersson gets the start for Ottawa. Ersson sports an .890 SV% and 3.14 GAA, and his -1.4 GSAx and -0.37% SV% above expected rank 51st and 49th, respectively, among 75 goaltenders.
This should be a juicy matchup for Tuch, whose 11 goals lead the Capitals by five and are tied for sixth in the NHL. The 30-year-old has done all of this damage without a power-play goal, and his 2.45 5v5 goals per 60 rank first among skaters with 100+ minutes. He’s finishing above his 7.78 xGoals, but his 0.75 high-danger xGoals per 60 rank fourth among skaters with 100+ minutes, so the chances behind those goals are legit.
Steven Stamkos Anytime Goal Scorer (+125)
Los Angeles deploys the NHL’s worst penalty kill at 62.5%, and that should be a big problem against a Nashville power play that converts 29.8% of its opportunities, good for fourth in the NHL. Stamkos has scored six of his team-high 10 goals with the man advantage, and he has lit the lamp in five of his past 10 outings.
His 5v5 production has been pretty modest with three goals, but Darcy Kuemper is the likely starter tonight for the Kings with an .878 SV% and 3.53 GAA, and his -5.0 GSAx and -0.92% SV% above expected rank 66th and 57th, respectively. The 36-year-old sniper is still gettable at +125, and it’d be a mistake to fade him with this power-play matchup.
