Nick Suzuki
Mitch Marner
Cutter Gauthier

Tage Thompson Anytime Goal Scorer

After underwhelming on offense last year, the Buffalo Sabres front line have been able to round back into form this season, climbing into the top half of the board in Expected Goals For in All Situations. Tage Thompson has helped spark the Sabres turnaround as the focal point of their offense, generating 0.42 Expected Goals per game.

Heading into Sunday night’s contest against the Montreal Canadiens, expect Thompson to snap his seven game scoreless streak by relentlessly attacking a back line who resides near the bottom of the board in Expected Goals Against in All Situations and in 5-on-5 Play. With the Canadiens incapable of face guarding Thompson, he will be able to generate a higher volume of Shots on Goal, increasing his chances of scoring.

Nick Suzuki Anytime Goal Scorer

While Cole Caufield has garnered all the attention, Nick Suzuki has quietly nearly matched his teammate’s output, generating 0.36 Expected Goals and 2.23 Shots on Goal per game. Their combined production has helped turn the Canadiens front line into a formidable unit, leading an offense who ranks in the top-10 in Expected Goals For.

In a favorable matchup against the Sabres, Suzuki will be able to build on his hot stretch of play by taking advantage of a back line who ranks well below league average in Expected Goals Against in All Situations. Especially with Caufield pulling defensive attention away from him, widening the width of Suzuki’s shooting lanes in front of the net which will help convert his shot attempts into Shots on Goal.

Mitch Marner Anytime Goal Scorer

Since the start of the playoffs, Mitch Marner has been able to elevate his level of play, leaping up to the top of the board in Expected Goals with an average of 0.45 per game. Marner’s resurgence has helped keep the Vegas Golden Knights competitive on offense, contributing to a front line who ranks above league average in Expected Goals For in 5-on-5 Play.

With the Anaheim Ducks severely struggling in coverage per their near dead last marks in Expected Goals Against in All Situations and From High Danger Shots, Marner will face minimal resistance in his efforts of weaving the puck through their back line. When exposed, Lukas Dostal is incapable of warding off the Golden Knights assault, averaging 3.48 Goals Against per game and a .876 Save Percentage throughout the playoffs.

Cutter Gauthier Anytime Goal Scorer

After playing at a very high level throughout the regular season, the Ducks front line have been able to carry over their momentum into the playoffs, ranking third overall in Expected Goals For in All Situations. Cutter Gauthier has played a major role in their success this year, averaging 0.39 Expected Goals and 3.75 Shots on Goal per game.

While a matchup against the Golden Knights normally indicates negative regression is looming large, the Ducks versatility on offense will help space out their coverage, creating more room in the middle for Gauthier to help pressure their net. To increase your risk on Gauthier, escalator bet his Anytime Goal Scorer prop by placing smaller wagers on his alternate totals at the best available odds across multiple sportsbooks.
