Best NHL Goalscorer Props Today: Anytime Goal Picks for Thursday, November 5

I went through all 11 games on Thursday, Nov. 5, 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 opponent's defense and goalie give up.

Scores run from 0 to 100, and 50 is league average, so anything well above that is a strong mark. Form carries the most weight, and the matchup can lift or trim it.

Leon Draisaitl to score a goal (+100, theScore)

ANYTIME GOALSCORERANA@EDM· Nov 5, 8:00 PM ET

Leon Draisaitl

Anytime Goalscorer

Opposing goalie: Lukas Dostal (Expected)

Bet now+100

Leon Draisaitl has 13 goals in 16 games, a 98 form score, and he is scoring well above what his chances suggest. His expected goals total is 8.14, so he is finishing far ahead of expectation, helped by a 17.4% shooting percentage. He fires 3.5 shots per game, creates 1.31 high-danger chances per game, plays 21:33 a night and gets 3:56 on the power play, which keeps him in the best scoring spots.

Edmonton hosts Anaheim, and the matchup score is an 89. The Ducks allow right wingers 9.53 scoring chances, 4.60 high-danger chances, 8.27 shots and 1.13 goals per game. Lukas Dostal is expected in goal with a .871 save percentage over nine games. The best price is +100 at theScore, against a median of -120 across nine books, so you get a real premium. A red-hot finisher against a leaky defense is hard to ignore.

Brandon Hagel to score a goal (+150, DraftKings)

ANYTIME GOALSCORERCHI@TB· Nov 5, 7:00 PM ET

Brandon Hagel

Anytime Goalscorer

Opposing goalie: Arvid Soderblom (Expected)

Bet now+150

Brandon Hagel has 8 goals in 14 games and a 97 form score, and the underlying numbers back it up. His expected goals total is 7.29, so the production is earned, not lucky. He averages 4.21 shots and 1.86 high-danger chances per game, plays 21:31 and gets 4:07 on the power play. A 14.8% shooting percentage is healthy without looking unsustainable.

Tampa Bay hosts Chicago, and the matchup score is an 87. The Blackhawks allow left wingers 8.62 scoring chances, 4.19 high-danger chances, 7.5 shots and 0.75 goals per game. Arvid Soderblom is expected in goal with a .829 save percentage, though that comes from only three games, so the sample is small. DraftKings has +150, ahead of the +125 median across 11 books. Strong form against a shaky goalie makes this a good spot.

Brayden Point to score a goal (+150, BetRivers)

ANYTIME GOALSCORERCHI@TB· Nov 5, 7:00 PM ET

Brayden Point

Anytime Goalscorer

Opposing goalie: Arvid Soderblom (Expected)

Bet now+150

Brayden Point has 5 goals in 14 games, and his 93 form score comes from volume more than finishing. His expected goals total is 5.93, so he is a touch below expectation, with a 13.1% shooting percentage. He generates 1.57 high-danger chances per game, takes 2.29 shots, plays 19:23 and sees 4:45 of power-play time per game, a big role for a center on a strong offense.

The matchup is his biggest asset: a 93 matchup score against Chicago. The Blackhawks give up 10.00 scoring chances, 4.69 high-danger chances, 7.69 shots and 1.25 goals per game to centers. Soderblom is expected in goal with a .829 save percentage over just three games, a small sample. BetRivers has +150 against a +144 median across 10 books. If his finishing catches up to his chances, this is a soft spot to cash.
