Tuesday’s Anytime Goal Scorer Picks
- Matthew Tkachuk
- Cole Caufield
- Jason Robertson
- Tomas Hertl
Matthew Tkachuk Anytime Goal Scorer
After missing a majority of the regular season while dealing with an injury, Matthew Tkachuk has been able to quickly round back into dominant form, averaging 0.49 Expected Goals per game. Unfortunately for the Florida Panthers, Tkachuk could not make his return to the ice quick enough to save them as the reigning Stanley Cup champions have already been eliminated from playoff contention.
Against the surging Montreal Canadiens, Tkachuk will be able to build on his momentum by taking advantage of a back line who ranks near the bottom of the board in Expected Goals Against in All Situations. Especially with Sam Montembeault struggling to protect the Canadiens net, averaging 3.43 Goals Against per game and a .872 Save Percentage.
Cole Caufield Anytime Goal Scorer
Keeping our attention on Tuesday night’s matchup between the Panthers and Canadiens, Cole Caufield has rivaled Tkachuk in regard to his output, averaging 0.43 Expected Goals and 3.14 Shots on Goal per game. With the Canadiens offense running through Caufield, they have been an efficient unit, fielding a front line who ranks in the top-10 in Expected Goals For in All Situations.
Heading into Tuesday night, expect Caufield to keep them competitive in their contest against the Panthers by exploiting a back line who ranks dead last in Expected Goals Against From High Danger Shots. With the Panthers incapable of face guarding, the width of Caufield’s shooting lanes will widen, improving the quality of his Shots on Goal in front of the crease.
Jason Robertson Anytime Goal Scorer
Since the start of the regular season, Jason Robertson has been one of the more dynamic forwards in the league, averaging 0.45 Expected Goals per game. His production has helped turn the Dallas Stars into a formidable contender capable of competing with the Colorado Avalanche in the West, contributing to a front line who ranks above league average in Expected Goals For.
In a favorable matchup against the Calgary Flames, Robertson will be able to continue to light the lamp by attacking a defense who ranks in the bottom five in Expected Goals Against in 5-on-5 Play. For some more exposure, escalator bet Robertson’s Anytime Goal Scorer prop by placing smaller wagers on his alternate totals at the best available odds across multiple sportsbooks.
Tomas Hertl Anytime Goal Scorer
After winning their last three games in a row, the Vegas Golden Knights have been able to create some space from the Los Angeles Kings in the Pacific division standings, possessing a five point lead for the last automatic qualifying spot as of writing. Tomas Hertl has played a major role in the Golden Knights success this season, averaging 0.44 Expected Goals and 2.49 Shots on Goal per game.
With the Vancouver Canucks severely struggling in coverage per their dead last mark in Expected Goals Against in All Situations, Hertl will be able to pressure the net at a higher rate which increases his chances of finding the back of the net. Especially with Nikita Tolopilo incapable of walling off his assault as the Canucks third string goalie is averaging nearly four Goals Against per game.
