Nikita Kucherov (Tampa Bay Lightning) Yes Anytime Goalscorer (+115)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Keep an eye on Nikita Kucherov as he hits the ice at Rogers Arena this Friday. Kucherov's been lighting up the scoreboard when playing away from home, hitting the back of the net in each of his last four games on the road. Even more impressive? He's nailed the target in 7 out of his last 9 overall appearances. That kind of hot streak just can't be ignored! His average of a goal per game on away turf, matched with a steady firing rate of 2.6 shots per away game, demonstrates Kucherov's lethal attacking prowess. It's not just about quantity, but quality too. And let's face it, when Kucherov's on the ice, anything can happen. So, don't sleep on this bet. Kucherov's got the stats, the form, and the audacity to net one against the Canucks. It's time to ride the Lightning!
