The picks
3 picksPicks are opinions, not guarantees. Odds may have moved since publishing.
I went through all 6 games on the NHL slate for Sunday, November 8, looking for the best anytime goalscorer props. The three 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.
Form and matchup scores run from 0 to 100, where 50 is league average, so higher is better for the shooter in both cases.
Rickard Rakell to score a goal (+190, Novig)
Rickard Rakell
Anytime Goalscorer
Opposing goalie: Laurent Brossoit (Expected)
Rickard Rakell has 5 goals in 17 games for Pittsburgh and carries an 87 form score. He averages 2.35 shots and 1.47 individual high-danger chances per game, and his 5.25 expected goals line up almost exactly with the 5 he has scored, so there is no obvious finishing luck propping him up. He plays about 20 minutes a night, including 3.25 minutes per game on the power play.
The matchup is the real draw, a 92 matchup score against Anaheim. The Ducks allow right wingers 9.12 scoring chances, 4.47 high-danger chances and 8.18 shots per game, plus 1.12 goals. Laurent Brossoit is expected in goal with a .847 save percentage, though that is only 3 games, so treat the sample as small. Novig has Rakell at +190, a bit better than the +180 median across 9 books. Elite matchup, steady form, fair plus-money price.
Mark Stone to score a goal (+230, theScore)
Mark Stone
Anytime Goalscorer
Opposing goalie: Colten Ellis (Expected)
Mark Stone has 10 goals in 18 games for Vegas and an 88 form score. He takes 1.94 shots per game but makes them count, with 1.83 individual high-danger chances per game and an 18.7% shooting percentage. His 5.30 expected goals are well below his 10 actual goals, so some regression is possible. He plays 18:37 a night, with 3.43 minutes on the power play.
Buffalo is a soft landing spot, an 83 matchup score. The Sabres give up 8.69 scoring chances, 3.75 high-danger chances and 8.56 shots per game to right wingers, along with 1.19 goals. Colten Ellis is expected in net with a .891 save percentage over 6 games. TheScore offers +230, well above the +195 median across 10 books. A hot finisher in a good spot.
Brayden Point to score a goal (+220, Hard Rock)
Brayden Point
Anytime Goalscorer
Opposing goalie: Stuart Skinner (Expected)
Brayden Point has 5 goals in 16 games for Tampa Bay and a 91 form score, the highest of the three. He averages 2.12 shots and 1.38 individual high-danger chances per game, and his 6.17 expected goals sit above his 5 goals, so he is finishing a little under expectation. He plays about 20 minutes a night, and his 4.87 minutes per game on the power play is a big part of his threat.
Winnipeg brings a 74 matchup score. The Jets allow centers 8.24 scoring chances, 4.24 high-danger chances and 7.18 shots per game, plus 1.41 goals. Stuart Skinner is expected in goal with a .885 save percentage over 12 games. Hard Rock has Point at +220, ahead of the +188 median across 10 books. Top form plus a shaky goalie makes the price appealing.
Anytime Goal Parlay
Combining the three legs into one anytime goal parlay pays +2962 at the prices above. Odds are subject to change.
