Wednesday’s Anytime Goal Scorer Picks
- Gabriel Landeskog
- Cale Makar
- Ryan Hartman
- Matt Boldy
Gabriel Landeskog Anytime Goal Scorer
When healthy, Gabriel Landeskog has been a steady source of offense for the Colorado Avalanche, averaging 0.28 Expected Goals per game. His individual production has helped turn the Avs front line into the most explosive and efficient unit in the league, contributing to a group who leads the field in Expected Goals For in All Situations.
Heading into Wednesday night’s contest against the Minnesota Wild, expect Landeskog to continue to pressure the net at a consistent rate by exploiting a back line who is averaging 3.65 Expected Goals Against per game. Especially with Nathan MacKinnon stretching out the Wild’s coverage with his gravity, freeing up more space in the middle which will make it easier for Landeskog to generate a shot attempt in front of the crease.
Cale Makar Anytime Goal Scorer
After scoring two Goals in the first game of the series, Cale Makar has fallen hard back down to reality, failing to generate a Point in his last three starts. A stunning regression when factoring in how well Makar has been able to attack the net from the blue line, averaging 0.24 Expected Goals and 2.65 Shots on Goal per game.
With the Wild incapable of face guarding the Avs defenseman, Makar will be able to continue to take advantage of the single coverage he receives and convert his shot attempts into Shots on Goal at a higher rate. When left unprotected, Jesper Wallstedt has struggled to ward off the Avs pressure while battling against wear and tear, plummeting down to 13th in average Goals Against per game.
Ryan Hartman Anytime Goal Scorer
With Joel Eriksson Ek out with an injury, Ryan Hartman has been tasked with shouldering a heavier workload to help mask his teammates loss of production. Hartman has been able to live up to the task since the start of their series against Colorado, generating over 4.00 Shots on Goal per game.
While a matchup against the Avs suffocating coverage normally indicates negative regression is looming large, the Wild’s resurgence on offense has helped brush it to the side by fielding a front line who ranks in the top half of the board in Expected Goals For. Even with Mackenzie Blackwood playing at a high level, the Wild’s versatility will force the Avs goalie to scramble, creating larger gaps in their net for Hartman to exploit.
Matt Boldy Anytime Goal Scorer
After averaging one Goal per game against the Dallas Stars, Matt Boldy has struggled to carry over his momentum into their series against the Avs, finding the back of the net just once in four games. While his drop off in production is noteworthy, the Wild forward was still efficient in game four, finishing the contest with 0.89 Expected Goals.
With the Avs forced to shade their coverage towards Kirill Kaprizov, the width of Boldy’s shooting lanes at multiple areas of the ice will widen, drastically improving the quality of his Shots on Goal which increases his chances of scoring. For some more exposure, escalator bet Boldy’s Anytime Goal Scorer prop by placing smaller wagers on his alternate totals at the best available odds across multiple sportsbooks.
