Saturday’s Anytime Goal Scorer Picks
- Seth Jarvis
- Brady Tkachuk
- Mikko Rantanen
- Owen Tippett
Seth Jarvis Anytime Goal Scorer
Even though Seth Jarvis has been non-existent in their first round matchup against the Ottawa Senators, the Carolina Hurricanes star forward still helps by pulling defensive attention towards him, freeing up more space for his linemates to exploit. That was apparent in their latest win in game three, finishing the contest with 4.81 Expected Goals in their 2-1 win.
With the Senators back line plummeting to the bottom of the board in Expected Goals Against in All Situations, expect Jarvis to round back into dominant form by pressuring the net at a heavier rate. Especially with Sebastian Aho forcing Linus Ullmark to stretch away from the net, widening the width of Jarvis’s shooting lanes in front of the crease which will improve the quality of his Shots on Goal.
Brady Tkachuk Anytime Goal Scorer
Like Jarvis, Brady Tkachuk has also been unable to find his footing in the first round, generating zero Goals and zero Assists three games into the series. A stunning drop off in production when factoring in how incredible the Senators forward has been this year, averaging 0.50 Expected Goals and 3.68 Shots on Goal throughout the regular season.
With their backs pressed firmly on the wall, expect Tkachuk to be more aggressive in his efforts of scoring, generating a higher volume of Shots on Goal when he weaves the puck through their back line in transition. With Tkachuk leading the field in Expected Goals, increase your exposure on the Senators forward by placing a smaller wager on him to score the first goal as well at the best available odds.
Mikko Rantanen Anytime Goal Scorer
In his return to Dallas, Mikko Rantanen has been able to pick back up right where he left off, averaging 0.35 Expected Goals per game. His production has been vital to the Stars success, masking a front line who continues to slip down the board in Expected Goals For in All Situations and in 5-on-5 Play.
With Roope Hintz out with an injury, Rantanen has been tasked with shouldering a heavier workload, leading to a higher usage rate. Even with the Minnesota Wild excelling in coverage, Jason Robertson and Wyatt Johnston help pull defensive attention away from him, making it easier for Rantanen to convert his shot attempts into Shots on Goal at a more consistent rate, increasing his chances of scoring.
Owen Tippett Anytime Goal Scorer
Even with Porter Martone injecting some life into their offense, the Philadelphia Flyers front line have still struggled to play at a competitive level, ranking near dead last in Expected Goals For in All Situations. Luckily for the Flyers, Owen Tippett has been able to keep them afloat with his individual production this season, averaging 0.34 Expected Goals and 2.73 Shots on Goal per game.
In a favorable matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins, expect Tippett to continue to light the lamp by attacking a back line who has stumbled down to the bottom half of the board in Expected Goals Against in All Situations and From High Danger Shots. To help increase your risk on Tippett, escalator bet his Anytime Goal Scorer prop by placing smaller wagers on his alternate totals.
