Tuesday’s Anytime Goal Scorer Picks

Tom Wilson
Timo Meier
Nathan MacKinnon
Adrian Kempe

Tom Wilson Anytime Goal Scorer

With Alexander Ovechkin showing signs of regression, Tom Wilson has been tasked with keeping the Washington Capitals competitive this season, averaging 0.35 Expected Goals per game. Their combined production has helped turn the Capitals front line into one of the more efficient units in the league, ranking in the top-10 in Expected Goals For in All Situations and in 5-on-5 Play.

Fortunately for Wilson, he will be able to continue to light the lamp in Tuesday night’s matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets by exploiting a back line who ranks below league average in Expected Goals Against in All Situations. With Ovechkin pulling defensive attention away from him, the width of Wilson’s shooting lanes will widen, turning his shot attempts into Shots on Goal at a higher rate.

Timo Meier Anytime Goal Scorer

With the New Jersey Devils ravaged by injuries throughout the year, they were unable to string together their wins and have been eliminated from playoff contention. Even with his supporting cast constantly revolving, Timo Meier was still able to pressure the net at a consistent rate, averaging 0.46 Expected Goals and 3.54 Shots on Goal per game.

In a favorable matchup against the Boston Bruins, Meier will be able to build on his momentum by relentlessly attacking a back line who ranks near dead last in Expected Goals Against in All Situations and in 5-on-5 Play. Even with Jeremy Swayman in net, the Devils versatility will force the Bruins goalie to constantly make quick cuts across the ice, opening up larger gaps in his net on the outside.

Nathan MacKinnon Anytime Goal Scorer

Since the start of the regular season, Nathan MacKinnon has seen his odds to win the Hart Memorial Trophy skyrocket, averaging over 1.5 points and 0.50 Expected Goals per game. With the Colorado Avalanche offense running through MacKinnon, they have rivaled the Carolina Hurricanes in Expected Goals, ranking second in Expected Goals For in All Situations.

With the Calgary Flames continuing to fall down the board in Expected Goals Against in All Situations, their lack of coverage will make it easier for MacKinnon to generate a higher volume of Shots on Goal in front of the net, increasing his chances of scoring. To help increase your risk on MacKinnon, escalator bet his Anytime Goal Scorer prop by placing smaller wagers on his alternate totals at the best available odds.

Adrian Kempe Anytime Goal Scorer

After re-tooling their roster at the trade deadline, the Los Angeles Kings front line have still struggled to pressure the net, ranking in the bottom half of the board in Expected Goals For in All Situations. Even when receiving minimal support from his linemates, Adrian Kempe has still been able to keep them afloat, averaging 0.33 Expected Goals and 2.74 Shots on Goal per game.

Heading into Tuesday night, Kempe will have a great opportunity to light up the scoreboard as he faces off against the Vancouver Canucks who rank well below league average in Expected Goals Against From High Danger Shots. Especially with Kevin Lankinen incapable of protecting their net, averaging 3.67 Goals Against per game and a .876 Save Percentage.
