Best anytime goal scorer props for Tuesday 4/28/26

Kirill Kaprizov anytime goal scorer (+155)

The Wild stormed back to win Game 4 and even this series against the Stars over the weekend. That they’ve managed to keep things locked at two games apiece despite a pretty quiet postseason from superstar Kirill Kaprizov is quite impressive. The Russian has six points in this series but only one goal, and his shooting totals have been pretty low with just two shots on goal in each of the first three games. Perhaps Dallas’ defense is doing well at marking him, but it feels like it’s a matter of time before he finds the back of the net. Kaprizov notched a series-high four shots on goal last time out and hasn’t potted a puck since the opening matchup. He’s due, especially after scoring 45 goals in the regular season with 40+ goals in four of the last five campaigns (the one in which he didn’t reach that mark was shortened to only 41 games due to injury). After signing the richest contract in league history this past offseason, I expect Kaprizov to show why he’s worth that cash.

Leo Carlsson anytime goal scorer (+190)

There have been 35 combined goals scored by the Ducks and Oilers in four games of this series. Dating back a little further to the regular season, these teams have put up 63 total goals across seven meetings. That’s an average of nine goals per game, so it’d be a shame to not make a pick or two in tonight’s matchup. One of my favorite choices here is Leo Carlsson, who already has already put two pucks in the back of the net during the series and remains a force on offense at the moment. He maintains the team lead in shots on goal with 22, which are good for second most of any skater in the entire postseason field. That kind of volume is simply absurd, and while it’s held up by 10 attempts in Game 1, he’s posted four shots on goal in each of the three games since. After shooting 15.0% this regular season and 17.5% last year, his 9.1% clip in the playoffs means he may be due to connect on another one soon.
