Tage Thompson (Buffalo Sabres) Yes Anytime Goalscorer (+140)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Tage Thompson's recent performance statistics suggest a strong likelihood for a scoring outcome. His average goal rate over the last five home games is 0.8, and he's maintained a consistent shot average of 3 in home settings. Importantly, his overall goal average is even higher at 1, indicating that his scoring capability is not limited to home games. His shot average across all games is also strong at 3.8. Thompson's current hit streak is impressive, scoring in 7 consecutive games overall and 4 consecutive home games, implying consistent form. The model prediction of 0.46, despite its standard deviation of 0.42, further underscores the potential for Thompson to score. These factors combined present a compelling case for betting on Thompson as an 'Anytime Goalscorer' in the upcoming game against the New Jersey Devils.
