Wednesday’s Anytime Goal Scorer Picks

Owen Tippett
Matt Boldy
Zach Hyman
Cutter Gauthier

Owen Tippett Anytime Goal Scorer

After residing near the bottom of the board in Expected Goals For during the regular season, the Philadelphia Flyers have carried over their struggles into the playoffs, ranking in the bottom five in Expected Goals For in All Situations. Luckily for the Flyers, Owen Tippett has been able to keep them competitive in their contests, averaging 0.34 Expected Goals per game.

Heading into Wednesday night’s matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins, expect Tippett to continue to keep the Flyers afloat by relentlessly attacking a back line who ranks below league average in Expected Goals Against in 5-on-5 Play. Especially with Stuart Skinner incapable of masking their struggles in coverage with his play in net, averaging nearly three Goals Against per game and a .888 Save Percentage.

Matt Boldy Anytime Goal Scorer

After a slow start to the year, the Minnesota Wild front line have been able to turn into an efficient unit, climbing into the top-10 in Expected Goals For in All Situations. Matt Boldy has played a major role in the Wild’s turnaround this year, averaging 0.40 Expected Goals and 3.34 Shots on Goal per game.

While a matchup against the Dallas Stars looks daunting at first glance, Boldly gets the benefit of playing alongside Kirill Kaprizov who forces opposing back lines to stretch out their coverage in an attempt to slow him down. With more room to work in the middle of their defense, the width of Boldy’s shooting lanes in front of the net will widen, making it easier for the Wild forward to convert his shot attempts into Shots on Goal.

Zach Hyman Anytime Goal Scorer

Since the start of the regular season, Zach Hyman has been the Edmonton Oilers most consistent source of scoring production, averaging 0.61 Expected Goals per game. With Hyman patrolling the middle while Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid attack the net, the Oilers front line are one of the most lethal units in the league, ranking fourth in Expected Goals For in 5-on-5 Play.

With the Anaheim Ducks severely struggling in coverage per their near dead last mark in Expected Goals Against in All Situations, Hyman will be able to create a heavier volume of high quality scoring opportunities, increasing his chances of scoring. For some more exposure, escalator bet Hyman’s Anytime Goal Scorer prop by placing smaller wagers on his alternate totals.

Cutter Gauthier Anytime Goal Scorer

After struggling to play at a competitive level last year, the Anaheim Ducks were able to round back into form this season, entering the playoffs ranked in the top-3 in Expected Goals For. Cutter Gauthier’s production in the front line has helped spark the Ducks resurgence, averaging 0.39 Expected Goals and 3.75 Shots on Goal per game.

Fortunately for Gauthier, he will be able to help the Ducks match the Oilers output in game two by exploiting a back line who ranks below league average in Expected Goals Against From High Danger Shots. With his versatile front line stretching out their coverage, Gauthier will be able to generate higher quality Shots on Goal in front of the crease and net his 42nd goal of the season.
