Best NHL Goalscorer Props Today: Anytime Goal Picks for Saturday, October 17

I went through all 14 games on Saturday, October 17 looking for the best anytime goal props. The picks below are ranked by PropFinder's Goalscorer Matchups score, which blends a skater's own scoring form with how much the opposing defense and goalie give up.

Scores run from 0 to 100, where 50 is league average. Form is the shooter's own threat, and the matchup score covers the defense and goalie he faces. It is still early in the season, so every sample here is small.

Sam Reinhart to score a goal (+165, DraftKings)

Sam Reinhart

Anytime Goalscorer

Bet now+165

Sam Reinhart of the Panthers carries a 97 form score, and it is built on volume and power-play time. Through 8 games he has 4 goals on 26 shots (3.25 per game) and 2.12 high-danger chances per game, with 4.19 expected goals. His goals match that number, so he is not running hot. He plays about 21 minutes a night, including 6.07 on the power play. Eight games is a small sample, but the workload is clear.

Seattle gives up 8.12 scoring chances, 4.25 high-danger chances and 7.38 shots per game to centers, along with 1.12 goals, which adds up to a 72 matchup score. Joey Daccord is expected to start in goal with a .913 save percentage over 4 games. DraftKings has Reinhart at +165, better than the +150 median across 9 books. A top shooter on a soft matchup at that price is a fair spot.

Brandon Hagel to score a goal (+130, FanDuel)

ANYTIME GOALSCORERVAN@TB· Oct 17, 4:00 PM ET

Brandon Hagel

Anytime Goalscorer

Bet now+130

Brandon Hagel of the Lightning has 6 goals in 7 games, well above his 4.36 expected goals, and he backs it with 33 shots (4.71 per game) and 1.86 high-danger chances per game. That adds up to a 98 form score. He logs about 22 minutes a night with 5.08 on the power play. Some of that scoring may cool off, but the shot volume and chance quality are real.

Vancouver allows 7.44 scoring chances, 2.78 high-danger chances and 7.22 shots per game to left wingers, plus 1.00 goals, for a 69 matchup score. The bigger factor is the goalie: Kevin Lankinen is expected to start with a .786 save percentage over 6 games. FanDuel offers +130, ahead of the +115 median across 12 books. Hagel is shooting a lot against a goalie who is struggling to stop pucks.

Brayden Point to score a goal (+170, FanDuel)

Brayden Point

Anytime Goalscorer

Bet now+170

Brayden Point of the Lightning is the pick where the matchup does the most work. His 92 form score comes from chances rather than results: 1 goal in 7 games, but 16 shots, 1.14 high-danger chances per game and 2.61 expected goals. That leaves him below expectation on finishing. He plays about 19 and a half minutes a night, with 5.31 on the power play. The sample is small, and the chances suggest more goals are coming.

Point has the strongest matchup of the three, an 81 score. Vancouver gives up 9.44 scoring chances, 3.33 high-danger chances and 8 shots per game to centers, along with 1.11 goals. Lankinen is expected in goal with a .786 save percentage. FanDuel has Point at +170, compared with a +157 median across 12 books. The price is the longest of the three for a shooter due for some puck luck.
