Monday’s Anytime Goal Scorer Picks

Porter Martone
Seth Jarvis
Cutter Gauthier
Zach Hyman

Porter Martone Anytime Goal Scorer

Since the start of the regular season, the Philadelphia Flyers front line have been abysmal, sitting near the bottom of the board in Expected Goals For in All Situations and in 5-on-5 Play. Even when receiving little to no help from his linemates, Porter Martone has still been able to thrive, averaging 0.54 Expected Goals per game.

Fortunately for Martone, he will have a great opportunity to keep the Flyers competitive against the Pittsburgh Penguins by taking advantage of a back line who continues to fall down the board in Expected Goals Against in All Situations. Especially with Stuart Skinner incapable of warding off his assault at the net, averaging 2.92 Goals Against per game and a lowly .888 Save Percentage.

Seth Jarvis Anytime Goal Scorer

After reconfiguring their lines in the offseason, Seth Jarvis has been able to take a massive leap with his production, averaging 0.44 Expected Goals and 3.15 Shots on Goal per game. His high level of play has helped turn the Carolina Hurricanes front line into one of the more explosive groups in the league, ranking second in Expected Goals For in All Situations.

Even though Jarvis was relatively quiet in game one against Ottawa, his gravity still forced the Senators to stretch out their coverage which helped his linemates pressure the net at a high rate, generating 4.82 Expected Goals in their 2-0 win. With the Senators scrambling on the back end, Jarvis will be able to round back into form by creating high quality scoring opportunities when he exploits their gaps in front of the crease.

Cutter Gauthier Anytime Goal Scorer

Heading into the playoffs, the Anaheim Ducks front line will look to make some noise in their first round matchup against Edmonton, fielding a group who ranks third in Expected Goals For in All Situations. Cutter Gauthier has played a major role in their success this season, averaging 0.39 Expected Goals per game.

In a favorable matchup against the Oilers, expect Gauthier to build on his momentum by attacking a back line who ranks below league average in Expected Goals Against From High Danger Shots. With his linemates stretching out their back line, the width of Gauthier’s shooting lanes in front of the crease will widen, improving the quality of his Shots on Goal.

Zach Hyman Anytime Goal Scorer

When at full health, Zach Hyman has been one of the more efficient scorers in the league, averaging 0.61 Expected Goals and 2.74 Shots on Goal per game. Even when Leon Draisaitl went down with an injury earlier in the year, Hyman’s production helped keep the Oilers afloat, contributing to a front line who ranks fourth in Expected Goals For in 5-on-5 Play.

With the Ducks back line severely underwhelming in coverage per their near dead last mark in Expected Goals Against in All Situations, Hyman will be able to pressure the net at a higher rate which increases his chances of scoring. For some more exposure, escalator bet Hyman’s Anytime Goal Scorer prop by placing smaller wagers on his alternate totals at the best available odds across multiple sportsbooks.
