Best NHL Anytime Goal Scorer Bets for October 28
Auston Matthews Anytime Goal Scorer (+110)
Matthews has scored in six of his past 10 games and eight of 14 overall, sharing Toronto’s team lead with nine goals. Three of those goals have come on the power play, and he has scored in three of his past five outings. Matthews averages 20:39 of ice time, plays on the first power-play unit, and his 1.30 expected goals per 60 average ranks 30th among skaters with at least 100 minutes of ice time.
Seattle has allowed 3.50 goals and 31.8 shots per game, and its 3.66 expected goals allowed per game are the fourth-most in the NHL. The Kraken’s penalty kill also ranks near the bottom of the league at 70.6%, while Toronto’s power play converts at a 28.9% rate, fifth-best in the NHL. Philipp Grubauer is projected to start between the pipes for Seattle with a .907 SV% and +3.4 goals saved above expected, but Toronto has netted 5+ goals in three of its past four outings.
Tyson Foerster Anytime Goal Scorer (+350)
Foerster is the longer shot of the two picks, but the +350 price offers some sneaky good value for a player who continues to generate chances. He has recorded 31 shots on goal, including three in each of his past four outings, and he added an assist against Columbus on Tuesday night. Foerster has scored just two goals on 3.63 expected goals thus far, and his 6.5% shooting percentage sits well below the 12.0%, 17.6% and 21.3% marks he posted across the past three seasons. He skates alongside Alex Bump and Denver Barkey on Philadelphia’s third line and remains a part of the second power-play unit, with Travis Konecny and Owen Tippett both on injured reserve.
Charlie Lindgren is the expected starter for Washington tonight after posting an .886 SV% across his first three starts of the new season. Lindgren has allowed nine goals on 79 shots faced, and the Capitals have allowed 3.20 goals and 3.68 expected goals per game, the third-most expected goals in the NHL. The Flyers have been the worst 5v5 team in terms of goal percentage, but Washington has allowed the fifth-most 5v5 goals per 60, and Foerster is worth the play at +350.
