Best NHL Anytime Goal Scorer Picks for November 11
Jake Guentzel Anytime Goal Scorer (+130)
Guentzel has netted a goal in five of his nine road games this season, and his 10 goals and three power-play goals both lead the Lightning. The 32-year-old is finishing above his 7.76 xGoals, but he totaled 38 goals last season, and his 1.47 high-danger unblocked attempts per 60 at 5v5 rank 16th among 582 skaters with at least 100 minutes of 5v5 ice time.
Buffalo has allowed 3.45 xGoals against per 60 over its last 10 games (T-6th-most), and only five teams have given up more high-danger shots per 60 at 5v5 in that span. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is expected to draw the start with an .878 SV% and 3.27 GAA, and his -1.0 GSAx and -0.18% SV% above expected rank 45th and 39th, respectively, among 75 goaltenders. The Sabres’ penalty kill ranks 26th (71.2%), too, and Guentzel skates on Tampa Bay’s first power-play unit.
Joel Farabee Anytime Goal Scorer (+210)
Farabee has found the back of the net in seven of his past 10 outings, and he has scored in six of his 10 home games this season. His seven goals lead the Flames, and they’ve come on 6.5 xGoals, so the finishing isn’t really a result of puck luck. The 26-year-old’s 0.62 medium-danger xGoals per 60 at 5v5 rank 13th among skaters with 100+ minutes of 5v5 ice time.
Joonas Korpisalo will likely get the start for New York, and he has made just one start this season. His -0.1 GSAx and -0.22% SV% above expected rank 34th and 41st, respectively. As a team, the Rangers have allowed 3.38 goals per 60 over their last 10 games, the 11th-most of any club.
Cutter Gauthier Anytime Goal Scorer (+105)
Gauthier has recorded three hat tricks over his past five games, scoring 11 goals in that span. His 15 goals lead the Ducks and are tied for third in the NHL, and his 13.89 shots on goal per 60 rank second among skaters with 100+ minutes.
The 22-year-old is scoring well above his 8.53 xGoals, and Nashville’s penalty kill ranks third (88.9%), which matters for a player with 10 power-play goals. Still, the Predators are on the second night of a back-to-back after playing in Los Angeles on Tuesday, and Justus Annunen is the likely starter tonight. His -0.9 GSAx and -0.38% SV% above expected rank 43rd and 49th, respectively. It’d be a mistake to fade Gauthier in goalscoring mode at plus money.
