NHL Anytime Goal Scorer Picks
Nikita Kucherov Anytime Goal Scorer (+145)
🏒 Odds via FanDuel 🥅
With Tampa Bay's leading scorer Brandon Hagel hitting the IR, it's time for Nikita Kucherov for step up and become the leader we know he can be this season. It's not like he's been slacking, with 13 goals and 30 assists through 31 games this season, we just expect a lot more from him in the goals department.
After a slowish start, Kucherov has been piling in the points lately, contributing 29 points over his last 17 games. Against the St. Louis Blues tonight, he'll have a prime opportunity to get on the scoresheet once or twice.
Jake Guentzel Anytime Goal Scorer (+130)
🏒 Odds via FanDuel 🥅
You can't have one without the other, right? Tampa Bay's Jake Guentzel has been as consistent of a 40-goal, 80-point per season guy in the NHL as anyone over the last few seasons, and he's been producing roughly the same output this season. After a two-goal performance against Carolina, we love Guentzel to continue his run against St. Louis, a team with the fourth-worst goals against average this season.
Cutter Gauthier Anytime Goal Scorer (+185)
🏒 Odds via Caesars Sportsbook 🥅
After blitzing out to a hot start, Gauthier has only scored in two of his last 11 games on the ice, leaving many wondering what's going on. The numbers say his shots on goal and shot attempts have dramatically decreased, though they've been beginning to pick up over the last few games.
We think that the Ducks will go out of their way to get Gauthier more involved again, which should lead to more opportunities. At +185, we love our chances tonight.
NHL Player Props
Trevor Zegras 1+ Points (-188)
🏒 Odds via FanDuel 🥅
After some questions over who would become an out-and-out leader for the Philadelphia Flyers, Trevor Zegras has emerged over the last handful of games to become the team's leader in both goals and assists. Currently on a seven-game point streak and contributing to the offense in 11 of his last 12 games, Zegras getting anything better than -200 is an unbelievably buy. Go out and get him.
Troy Terry Under 2.5 Shots on Goal (-157)
🏒 Odds via Caesars Sportsbook 🥅
Terry had been an attacking force for the Anaheim Ducks, but has dropped off significantly in December. In 11 games this month, he's only contributed three goals and three assists, and he's seen his time on the ice reduced in recent games as a result.
Over the last seven games, Terry has only managed to fire three or more shots on frame twice. He only had three shots attempts in each of his last two outings, where he was on the ice for a combined 31 minutes after nearly 23 minutes on the ice the game before.
Charlie Coyle 1+ Points (+155)
🏒 Odds via DraftKings 🥅
Charlie Coyle has been a surprisingly bright spot for the otherwise lowly Columbus Blue Jackets in the last handful of games, racking up a point in three of his last four games. With superstar Zach Werenski out indefinitely, the Blue Jackets will need some players to step up.
While Coyle isn't very productive historically, he's on pace for a respectable 50 points, which is more than a point every two games. With some momentum and Werenski out, we love taking a plus-money gamble on Coyle tonight.
