Today's Best NHL Any Time Goal Scorer Bets
Seth Jarvis Any Time Goal (+190)
The Carolina Hurricanes shouldn't have trouble finding the net against a Buffalo Sabres team that gives up the seventh-most expected goals per 60 (3.16) and projects to start goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, who has a middling 2.5 goals saved above expected this season.
Our NHL projections like Seth Jarvis' chances of securing a goal the most on the Hurricanes. He's projected for 0.49 goals, which comes to roughly +158 odds of scoring if accurate and suggests he's a solid value at this price.
Jarvis has a team-high 22 goals over this campaign with a solid 19:24 average time on ice per game. He plays on the first power-player unit, and six of his goals have come on power plays.
Patrik Laine Any Time Goal (+195)
It's never a bad idea to attack the San Jose Sharks, who rank last in expected goals allowed per 60 (3.54), give up the fourth-most high-danger chances per 60 (12.74), and possess the 10th-worst penalty kill percentage (75.98%). Projected starting netminder Alexandar Georgiev has the NHL's third-worst goals saved above expected mark (-11.4), too.
Patrik Laine is tied for the sixth-best goals projection (0.51) on tonight's slate, so these +195 any time goal odds are mighty appealing. He's another player with a role on the first power-play unit, and he's scored a goal in two straight games since the break. While Laine's minutes can fluctuate from game to game, he owns the team's second-best mark in shots on goal per 60 (9.34).
Pavel Dorofeyev Any Time Goal (+170)
The Vegas Golden Knights are heavy home favorites over the Chicago Blackhawks and own the slate's highest implied team total (4.55).
Chicago allows the fourth-most expected goals per 60 (3.36) and the third-most high-danger chances per 60 (12.85). The Blackhawks' projected starting goalie, Petr Mrazek, sits at -10.7 goals saved above expected, which is the league's fourth-worst mark.
Needless to say, we should expect Vegas to pot plenty of goals tonight.
Our model has Pavel Dorofeyev topping the Golden Knights in projected goals (0.49), making him an appealing target. Despite trailing several teammates in time on ice per game (16:25), Dorofeyev leads the team in goals (23), averages the second-most shots on goal per game (2.9), and plays on the first power-play unit.
