Best NHL Goalscorer Props Today: Anytime Goal Picks for Sunday, November 1

I went through all 5 games on Sunday, November 1, to find the best anytime goal props on the board. The three 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, and 50 is league average. Form is the shooter's own threat this season, and the matchup score grades the defense and goalie he faces, so a higher number means a softer spot.

Kirill Kaprizov to score a goal (+115, bet365)

Kirill Kaprizov has 14 goals in 15 games for Minnesota, and the form score of 98 reflects how much of that is real volume. He is taking 3.33 shots per game and generating 1.53 individual high-danger chances per game. He plays about 22 minutes a night, including 4.21 on the power play. His expected goals sit at 6.78 against 14 actual goals, so he is finishing well above expectation (16.9% shooting), but the chance volume is elite on its own.

Minnesota visits Washington, and the matchup score is a strong 76. The Capitals give up 8.00 scoring chances, 4.58 high-danger chances, 7.25 shots and 0.92 goals per game to left wings. Logan Thompson is the expected starter in goal with a .903 save percentage. The best price is +115 at bet365, above the +104 median across 12 books. A top-rated shooter facing a leaky defense at plus money is the case here.

Leon Draisaitl to score a goal (+125, Novig)

Leon Draisaitl

Anytime Goalscorer

Opposing goalie: Dylan Garand (Expected)

Bet now+125

Leon Draisaitl has 12 goals in 14 games and a 98 form score, the same as Kaprizov. He averages 3.50 shots and 1.43 individual high-danger chances per game, plays about 21:34 a night and gets 3.86 minutes on the power play. His 7.50 expected goals trail his 12 actual goals, so some of the finishing may cool, though a 17.4% shooting rate is not out of reach for a player with his shot quality.

Edmonton is at the Rangers, and the matchup score is 61, an above-average spot driven by the defense. New York allows right wings 8.21 scoring chances, 3.79 high-danger chances, 6.86 shots and 0.79 goals per game. Dylan Garand is expected in net with a .899 save percentage over 10 games, and he is the one part of this matchup that works against Draisaitl. The best price is +125 at Novig, against a +105 median across 10 books. Elite form and a better-than-market price carry the case.

Drake Batherson to score a goal (+185, theScore)

ANYTIME GOALSCOREROTT@ANA· Nov 1, 8:00 PM ET

Drake Batherson

Anytime Goalscorer

Opposing goalie: Laurent Brossoit (Confirmed)

Bet now+185

Drake Batherson has 9 goals in 15 games for Ottawa, with a 90 form score. He averages 2.40 shots and 1.13 individual high-danger chances per game over about 17:38 of ice time, but his 4.06 power-play minutes per game are a big part of his role. His 4.43 expected goals are well below his 9 actual goals, so he has been finishing hot at 17.7%.

This is the best matchup of the three, with an 85 matchup score. Anaheim gives up 10.31 scoring chances, 4.92 high-danger chances, 8.85 shots and 1.15 goals per game to right wings. Laurent Brossoit is confirmed in net but has no save percentage to judge yet this season, so the goalie read is a small sample. The best price is +185 at theScore, well above the +150 median across 10 books. A strong shooter against a defense that bleeds chances pays a real number.
