Jack Hughes (New Jersey Devils) Yes Anytime Goalscorer (+140)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The rationale for betting on Jack Hughes as an 'Anytime Goalscorer' is his consistent shot performance. Hughes' L5 overall shots average is 5.4, indicating that he consistently attempts to score in each game. While his L5 overall goals average is currently 0, his L5 away games goals average is at 0.4, suggesting Hughes tends to perform better in away games. His hit rate from the last 4 away games is at 50% (2/4), which is a promising hit ratio. Despite his current hit streak being zero, his overall hit rate from the last 13 games is almost 50% (6/13), demonstrating that Hughes is generally successful in scoring. The model prediction of 0.46 also implies a likelihood of Hughes scoring in the upcoming match. These statistics collectively suggest a reasonable chance of Hughes scoring in the game against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
