Nikita Kucherov (Tampa Bay Lightning) Yes Anytime Goalscorer (+135)

In the upcoming clash of the titans between Tampa Bay Lightning and Minnesota Wild, one player to keep an eager eye on is none other than Nikita Kucherov. The man's been on fire recently, averaging a sizzling 1.2 goals across the last five games. There's a reason why his stick's been hotter than a Florida summer, folks. It's because he's been unloading an average of 3.6 shots per game. And when he's in the familiar confines of his home ice? Those shots jump up to 4.2 on average. Now, I know his current home hit streak is resting at a flat zero, but don't let that fool you. In his last four home games, he's found the back of the net twice. The guy's a sniper, and the stats are backing him for a "Yes" in the 'Anytime Goalscorer' market. Bet on Kucherov to light the lamp.
