Best NHL Anytime Goalscorer Picks Today
Evan Bouchard Anytime Goalscorer (+295)
There is some real value here in getting nearly 3:1 odds for a player tied for the most goals scored in the NHL, and he’s a defenseman! Bouchard has notched at least one goal in three of five outings this season, and he draws one of the best matchups of the night. Los Angeles has allowed the fourth-most goals per game, and the club has struggled to limit opposing defenses at 5v5, too, allowing the ninth-most 5v5 goals against per 60. Edmonton ranks third in 5v5 goals per 60, while Bouchard ranks second among all skaters in 5v5 goals per 60. There are a lot of mouths to feed on the Oilers offense, but Bouchard obviously has elite playmakers around him, and it helps that he leads the team in ice time per game, too.
Josh Anderson Anytime Goalscorer (+450)
I wasn’t expecting to be targeting some longshot plays tonight, but the matchup and underlying stats have me intrigued. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen will likely start between the pipes for Buffalo tonight, and he has been flat-out disappointing to start the new season, sporting a 3.66 GAA and .812 SV%. Among 63 eligible goaltenders, he ranks 59th in goals saved above expected and 55th in SV% above expected. He was average against Montreal last postseason and has struggled in previous regular-season meetings, too. I like taking a flyer on Anderson, who doesn’t offer the ice time appeal I normally look for in prop plays, but the situation feels good. He leads the Canadiens in various 5v5 metrics, such as 5v5 xGoals per 60, 5v5 shots per 60 and 5v5 shot attempts per 60.
