🥅 Best anytime goal scorer pick tonight

Cutter Gauthier (+140) vs. Leafs

Gauthier is the hottest rookie in the NHL right now - it's an easy tail for one of the highest volume shooters in the league, too. He's coming off a nine-shot game vs. the Flames and a five-shot performance vs. the Canadiens. Against a Leafs team ranked dead-last in shots allowed per game, Gauthier will have plenty of looks. I'd price this closer to +120, so we're getting some value from FanDuel here.

🤑 More NHL player props

If you're looking for another plus-money player prop, look no further than Gauthier 5+ shots at +158. The Leafs couldn't be any worse in their own end since the Olympic break, and Gauthier will be buzzing tonight.


🔥 More NHL goal scorer picks

Dylan Guenther (+140) vs. Blackhawks

Guenther has been a volume shooter against the Blackhawks this season, firing eight shots on goal across three meetings while scoring against this team just a couple days ago. Chicago's defensive metrics haven't been anything to write home about, allowing 3.16 goals per game (22nd in the NHL). They'll be up against a hot power play in Utah, which has converted 35% of opportunities over their last eight games - Guenther is the trigger man on PP1. I'd price this play closer to +110 as a result.

Quinn Hughes (+440) vs. Flyers

While Hughes isn’t known as a natural goal-scorer, the +440 price offers enough value to take a shot. Since the Olympic break, he's averaging about three shots per game and has shown more willingness to put pucks on net rather than facilitate. He’ll face a Flyers penalty kill that has slipped to 78.2%, ranking 21st in the NHL. With Philadelphia taking plenty of penalties this season, there's a solid opportunity for Hughes to capitalize on the power play - but I wouldn’t play this at anything shorter than +440.

💡 How I'm betting NHL goal scorer picks today

Follow all of our NHL analysis and expert predictions this season.

Bankroll management is a crucial element for a long-term, successful betting strategy.

The number of units I wagered reflects how confident I am in each player's chances of scoring. On a heavy slate, I'm not exposing more than half a unit from my bankroll. We're riding with a pair of hot hands and a value play tonight. However, while I like all three of these plays, it's important to remember that goal-scorer props can be difficult to predict, so it’s crucial to be strategic with your wager sizes. For the most part, I keep these under one unit unless the data suggests leaning more into my bankroll.
