Picks are opinions, not guarantees. Odds may have moved since publishing.

I went through all 11 games on Tuesday, October 20, looking for the skaters with the best chance to score at any point in regulation.

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.

Nick Suzuki to score a goal (+180, DraftKings)

ANYTIME GOALSCORERSJ@MTL· Oct 20, 7:00 PM ET

Nick Suzuki

Anytime Goalscorer

Opposing goalie: Alex Nedeljkovic (Expected)

Nick Suzuki carries a 94 form score, on a scale where 50 is league average, and it is easy to see why. The Montreal center has 4 goals in 8 games on 22 shots (2.75 per game) and averages 1.12 individual high-danger chances per game. His 3.36 expected goals sit below the 4 he has scored, so he is finishing above expectation. He plays about 22 minutes a night, including 3.88 minutes on the power play.

San Jose gives up 10 scoring chances, 5.67 high-danger chances, 7.56 shots and 1.11 goals per game to centers, which adds up to an 82 matchup score. Alex Nedeljkovic is expected in goal with a .920 save percentage, though that is only three games. DraftKings has Suzuki at +180, ahead of the +172 median across 12 books. A top-line center with a soft matchup and a real power-play role is a good fit for this price.


Alex DeBrincat to score a goal (+165, DraftKings)

ANYTIME GOALSCORERDET@SEA· Oct 20, 9:40 PM ET

Alex DeBrincat

Anytime Goalscorer

Opposing goalie: Joey Daccord (Expected)

Alex DeBrincat has been a steady shooter for Detroit, with 5 goals in 8 games on 30 shots, 3.75 per game. That earns a 95 form score. He averages 1.12 individual high-danger chances and 4 individual scoring chances per game, and his 3.66 expected goals sit below his 5 goals, so he has finished above expectation. He plays 20:09 a night, with 4.27 minutes on the power play.

Seattle allows left wingers 9.11 chances, 4 high-danger chances, 7.22 shots and 0.89 goals per game, good for a 78 matchup score. Joey Daccord is expected in net with an .882 save percentage over five games, the weakest mark among the three goalies in this article. DraftKings lists DeBrincat at +165 against a +155 median across 11 books. The case is a high-volume shooter facing a goalie who has struggled to stop pucks.


Adrian Kempe to score a goal (+220, DraftKings)

ANYTIME GOALSCORERLA@WSH· Oct 20, 7:00 PM ET

Adrian Kempe

Anytime Goalscorer

Opposing goalie: Logan Thompson (Expected)

Adrian Kempe has the quietest scoreline of the three, with 1 goal in 6 games, but the process is strong. The Los Angeles winger has 17 shots (2.83 per game), 2 individual high-danger chances and 4 scoring chances per game, and 2.78 expected goals against that single goal. He plays about 21 minutes with 3.79 minutes on the power play. The sample is small, but a 94 form score says the chances are coming.

Washington allows right wingers 9.25 chances, 4.25 high-danger chances, 8.12 shots and 1.25 goals per game, which is a 78 matchup score. Logan Thompson is expected in goal with a .910 save percentage over six games, so the goalie is not the soft spot here. The defense is. DraftKings has Kempe at +220, ahead of the +200 median across 12 books. The case: strong chance volume, a leaky defense, and a price that pays well if the finishing catches up.


Anytime Goal Parlay
