Best NHL Goalscorer Props Today: Anytime Goal Picks for Thursday, October 29

I went through all 11 games on Thursday, October 29, looking for the best anytime goal props on the board. 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, so a 91 form score means a skater is well ahead of the typical NHL forward. Here are the three highest-rated plays for tonight's slate.

Macklin Celebrini to score a goal (+117, Novig)

ANYTIME GOALSCORERVAN@SJ· Oct 29, 10:00 PM ET

Macklin Celebrini

Anytime Goalscorer

Opposing goalie: Leevi Merilainen (Expected)

Bet now+117

Macklin Celebrini carries a 97 form score, and the shot profile backs it up. He has 5 goals in 11 games for San Jose, firing 4.0 shots per game with 0.82 individual high-danger chances per game. His 5.44 expected goals line up almost exactly with the 5 he has scored, so there is no obvious finishing luck to unwind. He plays 22:54 a night, including about four minutes on the power play.

Vancouver gives up 9.14 scoring chances, 3.5 high-danger chances, 7.64 shots and 1.0 goals per game to centers, which is good for a 71 matchup score. Leevi Merilainen is the expected starter in net with a .901 save percentage over 9 games. Novig has Celebrini at +117, well above the -103 median across 9 books. A high-volume shooter on the power play at plus money is the case here.

Kirill Kaprizov to score a goal (+111, Novig)

ANYTIME GOALSCORERNYI@MIN· Oct 29, 8:00 PM ET

Kirill Kaprizov

Anytime Goalscorer

Opposing goalie: Ilya Sorokin (Expected)

Bet now+111

Kirill Kaprizov has scored in bulk, with 14 goals in 14 games for Minnesota and a 98 form score. The volume is real too: 3.36 shots and 1.64 individual high-danger chances per game, plus about four power-play minutes of his 21:44 nightly ice time. He is finishing well above his 6.42 expected goals and shooting 17.0%, so some cooling is possible, but the chances keep coming.

The matchup score is 61. The Islanders allow wingers on the left side 7.58 chances, 3.75 high-danger chances, 7.08 shots and 1.17 goals per game. The goalie is the tougher part: Ilya Sorokin is expected to start and holds a .919 save percentage over 8 games. Novig's +111 beats the -112 median across 10 books. It is a pick built on form and chance volume, and Kaprizov has plenty of both.

Jack Quinn to score a goal (+220, bet365)

Jack Quinn has 6 goals in 12 games for Buffalo and an 88 form score. He averages 2.83 shots and 1.17 individual high-danger chances per game while playing 19:29, with 3:45 of that on the power play. He has outscored his 4.49 expected goals, shooting 11.4%, so he is producing a little above the chances he creates, though not wildly.

This is the best matchup on the board, a 91 matchup score. Anaheim allows right wingers 10.58 chances, 5.17 high-danger chances, 9.0 shots and 1.08 goals per game. Lukas Dostal is the expected starter with a .871 save percentage over 9 games. The best price is +220 at bet365, ahead of the +200 median across 11 books. A solid shooter against a leaky defense and a shaky goalie at a big number is a fair shot.
