Thursday’s Anytime Goal Scorer Picks

Jason Robertson
Nathan MacKinnon
Chris Kreider
Adrian Kempe

Jason Robertson Anytime Goal Scorer

Do not let Jason Robertson being snubbed from team USA fool you, the Dallas Stars forward has arguably been one of the most productive forwards in the league, averaging 0.45 Expected Goals per game. His production has helped turn the Dallas Stars into a formidable contender, contributing to an offense who ranks above league average in Expected Goals For in All Situations.

In a favorable matchup against the New York Islanders, Robertson will be able to continue to pressure the net at a heavy rate, exploiting a back line who ranks near dead last in Expected Goals Against in 5-on-5 Play. Even with Ilya Sorokin expected to get the start in net for the Islanders, the Stars versatility will force him to scramble between the pipes, widening the width of Robertson’s shooting lanes.

Nathan MacKinnon Anytime Goal Scorer

Since the start of the regular season, the Colorado Avalanche have seen their odds to win the Stanley Cup skyrocket, leading the league in total points and in goal differential. Nathan MacKinnon has played a major role in the Avs success this season, averaging 0.46 Expected Goals and 4.42 Shots on Goal per game.

Heading into Thursday night, expect MacKinnon to build on his momentum as he faces off against the Winnipeg Jets who rank well below league average in Expected Goals Against From High Danger Shots. To help increase your exposure, escalator bet MacKinnon’s Anytime Goal Scorer prop by placing smaller wagers on his alternate totals at the best available odds.

Chris Kreider Anytime Goal Scorer

After struggling to play at a competitive level last year, the Anaheim Ducks front line have been able to round back into competitive form this season, ranking in the top-5 in Expected Goals For in All Situations. The acquisition of Chris Kreider helped spark the Ducks resurgence on offense, averaging 0.33 Expected Goals per game.

Fortunately for Kreider, he will be able to light up the scoreboard on Thursday night by taking advantage of a Calgary Flames back line who ranks in the bottom half of the board in Expected Goals Against in 5-on-5 Play. With his supporting cast stretching out the Flames back line, Kreider will face less resistance in his efforts of pressuring their crease, improving the quality of his Shots on Goal.

Adrian Kempe Anytime Goal Scorer

With just 11 games remaining in the regular season, the Los Angeles Kings front line must elevate their level of play if they want to keep their hopes of making the playoffs alive. Even when receiving minimal support from his linemates, Adrian Kempe has still been able to thrive, averaging 0.34 Expected Goals and 2.74 Shots on Goal per game.

With the Vancouver Canucks back line ranking dead last in Expected Goals Against in All Situations, Adrian Kempe will be able to generate a higher volume of Shots on Goal which increases his chances of scoring. Especially with Kevin Lankinen failing to give them the protection they need to limit the amount of variance in their contests, averaging 3.63 Goals Against per game and a .876 Save Percentage.
