Best NHL Anytime Goal Scorer Picks for November 12
Kirill Kaprizov Anytime Goal Scorer (+100)
Kaprizov has been lethal away from home, scoring in nine of his 13 road games for 12 of his 17 goals. Only Leon Draisaitl (18) has scored more this season, and the 29-year-old also leads the Wild with six power-play goals, including an overtime winner to top Montreal on Tuesday. His 1.86 xGoals per 60 are tied for first among 601 skaters with at least 100 minutes of ice time.
Toronto’s penalty kill ranks fifth (86.4%), but the Maple Leafs have been far more vulnerable at even strength. They’ve allowed 3.14 goals against per 60 at 5v5, the third-most in the NHL, on just 2.59 xGoals against per 60 (T-11th-most). Anthony Stolarz is expected to draw the start with a .908 SV% and 2.72 GAA, and his +1.8 GSAx and +0.43% SV% above expected rank 21st and 23rd, respectively, among 75 goaltenders.
Sam Reinhart Anytime Goal Scorer (+155)
Reinhart’s 10 goals have come on 11.83 xGoals, so he’s been a bit unlucky in front of the net. His 0.78 high-danger xGoals per 60 rank second among skaters with 100+ minutes, and the 31-year-old has scored in four of his six home games this season. He also found the back of the net against Detroit on Nov. 2, even in a 5-3 loss.
Detroit has been quite stingy at 5v5 over its last 10 games, but the man advantage is where this play has value. The Red Wings’ penalty kill ranks 27th (69.5%), and Reinhart’s six power-play goals are tied for the Panthers’ lead. Daniil Tarasov is the likely starter, and he’s been solid between the pipes, with a +6.5 GSAx and +1.55% SV% above expected that rank ninth and eighth, respectively. Still, a top power-play finisher against a bottom-six penalty kill at +155 is a play worth backing.
Brandon Hagel Anytime Goal Scorer (+165)
Hagel scored twice last night in Tampa Bay’s 8-3 rout of Buffalo, and he heads to Columbus on the second night of a back-to-back in goalscoring mode. His 11 goals lead the Lightning, and his 12.90 shots on goal per 60 at 5v5 rank first among 586 skaters with at least 100 minutes of 5v5 ice time. The 28-year-old’s 1.52 5v5 xGoals per 60 rank second among those skaters.
Columbus has given up a ton of quality looks, allowing 2.31, allowing 2.31 high-danger shots per 60 at 5v5, the second-most in the NHL. Its actual 5v5 goals against haven’t caught up to that, sitting at 2.16 per 60, the eighth-fewest of any team. Cam Talbot deserves much of the credit, and he is expected to start with a .909 SV% and 2.51 GAA. His +5.4 GSAx ranks 11th among goaltenders, but if Columbus keeps giving up chances at this rate, I’d expect Hagel to be one of the skaters to cash in.
