David Pastrnak (Boston Bruins) Yes Anytime Goalscorer (+115)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

David Pastrnak's statistical trends and performance data indicate a solid rationale for betting on him as an 'Anytime Goalscorer'. While Pastrnak's average of 0.2 goals over the last 5 home games may seem low, it's important to compare this with his higher overall average of 0.4 goals. This suggests that his scoring rate at home is due for a positive correction. The model prediction of 0.53 further supports this. On the shots front, Pastrnak is averaging 4.4 shots per home game, again indicating a high level of engagement and opportunities to score. Moreover, he has a strong hit rate of 4/5 in the last 5 home games, suggesting that he is often able to convert these opportunities into goals. Although his current hit streak is at 0, his strong performance data and hit rate make a strong case for a likely goal in the upcoming game.
