Our three best NHL anytime goal scorer parlay picks for today (3/31/26) prices out at +2441 for hockey bettors looking to take a chance on a lottery ticket at the best NHL betting sites. The picks also appear to hold standalone value as straight bets, something worth noting given that we have had lots of success hitting two of our three legs on these bets this season.
Anytime goal-scorer bets are among the most exciting bets available in any sport. The rush of hitting a long shot goal scorer is hard to match, but even the NHL’s top scorers are less than 50% likely to score on average, and it is a volatile market subject to randomness, so as always, we do recommend staying within your means. Regardless of the score, any uncashed goal-scorer bet is still live to win, while hitting this type of wager early in any matchup is also extremely satisfying.
Nick’s AGS parlay
Jack Hughes +130
The hand injury which seemingly plagued Hughes throughout December and January no longer seems to be a concern, linemate Jesper Bratt is now back in top form, and Hughes scoring the Golden Goal at the Olympics surely didn’t hurt his confidence, either. Those positive developments have aided Hughes in recording 10 goals and 27 points across 17 games played following the Olympic break.
Believing that Hughes would finish the season strong has worked out well for us to this point, and a matchup versus a New York Rangers side that he has terrorized throughout his career seems to be a good time to keep riding with the red-hot centre.
In his last five games versus the Rangers, Hughes has recorded nine goals and 15 points. More importantly, he’s faced them twice over the last two months and recorded four goals and seven points in those matchups, suggesting that the current iteration of the Rangers sets up as a good matchup for him.
Hughes has also generated 0.61 individual expected goals per game over the last 12 matchups, averaging 4.5 shots on goal per game in that span, and recording 10 goals.
A price of +130 for Hughes to score looks like a strong option given how many chances he has created of late, and Tuesday’s matchup versus a rival Rangers side that continues to struggle defensively.
Alex DeBrincat +160
It seems a little disrespectful for an in-form DeBrincat to be priced as the 14th-most likely skater to score among Tuesday’s 10-game card, particularly given that the Pittsburgh Penguins offer a solid matchup.
DeBrincat ranks 11th in the league with 37 goals this season and is one of the better pure shooters in the NHL. The Penguins have allowed 3.61 goals against per game since the Olympic break and 3.86 xGA/60 throughout those 18 games. They will be playing the second leg of back-to-back Tuesday, so we should see at least a three-goal output from a desperate Detroit Red Wings side in this matchup.
DeBrincat has recorded four goals over the last six games, despite holding a shooting percentage of 12.1%, which is below his seasonal and career averages. He’s averaged 5.5 shots on goal per game in that span and an absurd average of 10 shot attempts per game.
The Red Wings’ power-play unit continues to look quite strong, and DeBrincat is the primary shooting option on the top unit. DeBrincat continues to show strong chemistry with Patrick Kane, who still serves a purpose as an offensive playmaker, while the Wings’ second line has benefited from the recent return of Andrew Copp.
At +160, I believe we are getting a great price to back one of the best goal scorers in the league during a stretch of play where he has been at his best.
Evan Bouchard +325
Bouchard continues to do a tremendous job of using his strong shooting abilities to help generate offence. He’s one of the best in the league at bluffing shots to freeze defenders and open up passing lanes, but calls his own number often enough to keep defenders honest and ensure his ability to finish from distance to be respected.
Recently, Bouchard has been utilizing his shot quite frequently, as over the last six games he’s attempted 49 shots and managed 19 on target. While some of those attempts are point shots being sifted into traffic looking for a redirection, he has been firing a lot of attempts where the intention is seemingly for himself to score, particularly on the power play with Leon Draisaitl’s one-timer no longer an option.
The Seattle Kraken have allowed 3.56 goals against per game in 16 matchups since the Olympic Break. Their defensive play has been mediocre at best, while Joey Daccord has played to a save percentage of .892 over his last 10 appearances.
