MORE: Our Top 5 Goalscorer Predictions for Every Team

Leg 1: William Nylander Anytime Goal (+145)

The first leg of our goalscorer parlay is on Leafs star William Nylander to light the lamp tonight vs. the Capitals.

Nylander is tied for the second-most goals in the NHL and has five goals in his past five games. He hasn't scored in his past two contests and is coming off a quiet night in a game in which Mitch Marner picked up a hat trick for Toronto, but he hasn't gone more than two games without a goal since mid-October, the only time he's done so this season.

He's shooting high volume which will be important tonight vs. the Capitals solid defense and projected starting goalie, Logan Thompson (0.914 SV%). 

Our model projected Nylander with a 42.2% probability to score for fair odds of +135, giving us just a bit of an edge here at +145.

Leg 2: Nazem Kadri Anytime Goal (+175)

Our second goalscorer pick is in the lone late-night game when the Flames travel to play the Sharks as we take Nazem Kadri to find the net.

San Jose has the worst record in the league with the worst goal differential (-35). They give up a lot of points as they allow the most shots against in the NHL, meaning plenty of scoring opportunities.

Kadri is tied for the team lead in goals this season with 13 and has picked up a goal in five of his last six games, with a great matchup tonight. 

Kadri gets a 34.1% probability to score for fair odds of +190, right around what we're getting here.
