Anytime Goal Scorer Picks Today
Taylor Hall, Hurricanes Over 0.5 Goals (+300, FanDuel)
Hall may be 34 years old but he hasn’t looked like a guy near the tail end of his career in the postseason. He has six goals and 11 assists for 17 points and is a +11 in 16 playoff games this season. Hall tallied a goal in the Hurricanes’ overtime loss in Game 3 Saturday night. He is a decent playoff performer, posting 22 goals and 30 assists in 70 career postseason games. Hall has set playoff career highs in goals, assists and points. He has the potential to dent the twine and the price is solid for that here. Look for him to maintain his momentum.
Mitch Marner, Golden Knights Over 0.5 Goals (+230, BetMGM)
Marner had a big first season in Vegas after coming over from Toronto. He had 24 goals and 56 assists for 80 points in 81 regular season games. In the postseason, he has 10 goals and a playoff-high 28 points in 19 games. His 18.9% shooting percentage in the playoffs is a career-high mark for Marner. He comes in off the fastest hat trick in Stanley Cup history. That marked just the second time in the last 10 games that he dented the twine. With the teams trading chances with regularity, look for Marner to dent the twine in this contest.
Logan Stankoven, Hurricanes Over 0.5 Goals (+230, FanDuel)
Stankoven was a house of fire when the postseason started, tallying six goals in his first five playoff contests. He’s cooled off since, tallying just four goals in the last 11 games. After recording 31 shots on goal and 47 shot attempts in the first two rounds, Stankoven has 19 shots on goal and 35 shot attempts in the last eight games. With that said, he’s lit the lamp three times in the last five games, including a goa’ in Game 2 of this series. Stankoven is one of the driving forces offensively for the Hurricanes this postseason. Take a shot on him here.

If you’re looking at wagers that don’t involve denting the twine, we have you covered there as well.
Hurricanes vs. Golden Knights Over 5.5 (-135, Fanatics)
Goals haven’t been hard to come by in the opening three games of this series. We saw each of the first three games of the series wind up over the number. The teams combined for nine, seven and nine goals in those contests. It’s safe to say that the goaltending failed to measure up to previous rounds in the first three games. Meanwhile, based on the firepower that we’ve seen in this series and the high-danger chances each side allowed, it’s hard seeing things differently here. Take the over in this contest as a result.
Hurricanes ML (FanDuel, -110)
Neither team has been able to put together 60 consistent minutes in a game in this series. Carolina scored nine of their 12 goals in this series in the third period and overtime. The Hurricanes have to get off to an early start to put pressure on Vegas. It remains to be seen what Rod Brind’Amour does between the pipes as Andersen’s struggles are glaring in this series. He got away with it against Montreal as the Canadiens were gassed after Game 1. Hart has his own issues in this series as he’s surrendered a dozen goals in three games. If it comes to backup goaltenders, you have more faith in Bussi than whoever Vegas would lean on here. Look for Carolina to even things up by prevailing here.
