Seth Jarvis Anytime Goal Scorer

Since being slotted into the same line as Sebastian Aho, Seth Jarvis has been able to capitalize on the extra space his teammate provides when he pulls defensive attention away from him, averaging 0.41 Expected Goals per game. Their production has helped turn the Carolina Hurricanes front line into one of the most efficient units in the league, ranking second in Expected Goals For in All Situations.

In a favorable matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets, Jarvis will be able to build on his momentum by taking advantage of a back line who ranks well below league average in Expected Goals Against in 5-on-5 Play. With the Blue Jackets struggling to face guard, the width of Jarvis’ shooting lanes in front of the net will widen, improving the quality of his Shots on Goal.

Cole Caufield Anytime Goal Scorer

After struggling to play at a competitive level last year, the Montreal Canadiens front line have been able to round back into form this season, ranking in the top-10 in Expected Goals For in All Situations. Cole Caufield has played a major role in the Canadiens resurgence, averaging 0.41 Expected Goals and 3.05 Shots on Goal per game.

Heading into Tuesday night, Caufield will be able to continue to light up the lamp as he faces off against the Boston Bruins who reside near the bottom of the board in Expected Goals Against in All Situations and in 5-on-5 Play. If you want to increase your exposure on Caufield, escalator bet his Anytime Goal Scorer prop by placing smaller wagers on his alternate totals at the best available odds across multiple sportsbooks.

Steven Stamkos Anytime Goal Scorer

Since the start of the regular season, the Nashville Predators re-tooled front line have struggled to gel together, ranking in the bottom half of the board in Expected Goals For in All Situations. Even when receiving minimal support from his teammates, Steven Stamkos has still been able to play at a high level, averaging 0.34 Expected Goals per game.

Luckily for Stamkos, he will have a great opportunity to keep the Predators competitive in their contest against the Winnipeg Jets by exploiting a back line who ranks dead last in Expected Goals Against From High Danger Shots. With the Jets struggling to stay in front of the puck, Stamkos will be able to generate a higher volume of Shots on Goal in front of the net, increasing his chances of scoring.

Jack Eichel Anytime Goal Scorer

After winning their last two games in a row, the Vegas Golden Knights have been able to chip away at Anaheim’s lead for first in the Pacific, sitting just one point back from the Ducks in the division standings. Jack Eichel’s high level of play on offense has helped turn the Knights front line into a formidable unit, averaging 0.34 Expected Goals and 3.59 Shots on Goal per game.

With the Buffalo Sabres ranking in the bottom ten in Expected Goals Against in 5-on-5 Play, Stamkos will be able to create higher quality Shots on Goal when he blitzes through their back line. Even with Alex Lyon expected to get the start in net for Buffalo, the Golden Knights versatility will have the Sabres goalie constantly scrambling across the ice, widening the width of the gaps beside him.
