Thursday’s Anytime Goal Scorer Picks

Seth Jarvis
Jordan Staal
Pavel Dorofeyev

Seth Jarvis Anytime Goal Scorer

Since the start of the regular season, Seth Jarvis has been able to pressure the net at a consistent rate, averaging 0.44 Expected Goals and 3.15 Shots on Goal per game. With the Carolina Hurricanes offense running through Jarvis in their star studded top line, they have been dominant, leaping up to first in Expected Goals For in All Situations and in 5-on-5 Play.

Against the Vegas Golden Knights, expect Jarvis to generate another high volume of shot attempts near the net by attacking a back line who has steadily dipped down the board in Expected Goals Against in 5-on-5 Play. Even with Carter Hart anchoring their net, the Hurricanes versatility will force the Golden Knights goalie to make quick cuts across the ice for the full duration of the contest, opening up larger gaps beside him for Jarvis to exploit.

Jordan Staal Anytime Goal Scorer

In their loss in game one, Jordan Staal did all he could to keep the Hurricanes competitive, netting a goal while generating three Shots on Goal in 19 minutes. A performance that has mirrored what Staal has been able to do through the first three rounds of the playoffs, averaging 0.36 Expected Goals in 14 games.

Heading into Thursday night’s contest against the Golden Knights, expect Staal to continue to light the lamp by taking advantage of a back line who is struggling to face guard the Hurricanes per their poor marks in Expected Goals Against as previously mentioned. If you want to increase your risk on the Hurricanes, split a wager and place a small piece on Jarvis, Stall, Sebastian Aho, and Andrei Svechnikov to all score the first goal as well.

Pavel Dorofeyev Anytime Goal Scorer

Even though Pavel Dorofeyev failed to score in game one, he was still able to pressure the Hurricanes net, finishing the contest with 0.45 Expected Goals. His production has been vital to the Golden Knights success on offense this season, contributing to a front line who ranks near the top of the board in Expected Goals For in All Situations.

With wear and tear evening the playing field by affecting the Hurricanes speed on the ice, Dorofeyev will be able to continue to weave the puck through their stretched out coverage and generate a high volume of Shots on Goal in front of the crease. Especially with Jack Eichel and Mitch Marner pulling defensive attention away from him, widening the width of Dorofeyev’s lanes to the net which will also drastically improve the quality of his Shots on Goal.
