Top NHL Pick: Cole Caufield Anytime Goalscorer (+150) at BetOnline (visit our BetOnline Review)
We have plenty of games taking place across this NHL Tuesday’s betting card and one of the best value anytime goalscorers is on our radar with Cole Caufield looking to bag his 11th goal of the season in just 12 games played.
Elsewhere, we are targeting a strong Vancouver performance in Anaheim, so let’s break down the current NHL odds from the top-rated sportsbooks before making your pick.
Calgary Flames vs. Montreal Canadiens
Tuesday, November 05, 2024 – 07:00 PM at Bell Centre
Canadian Rivalry
The 6-5-1 Calgary Flames take the trip across Canada to play the Montreal Canadiens who have started the season 4-7-1. Both these teams have won 5 of their previous 10 head-to-heads respectively but tonight we don’t mind who wins or loses, once the Canadiens star man Cole Caufield gets on the scoreboard for the 11th time this season.
Coming into tonight’s game, Caufield failed to score last time out, which was his first goalless game in four outings. Despite the Canadiens losing 7 of their previous 10 games, Caufield has managed to get on the scoreboard in 6 of them.
Throughout his career Caufield has scored 91 regular season goals in 217 games played, his playoff record isn’t as strong, having only scored four goals in 20 games.
Cole Caufield Trends
- Cole Caufield has scored the joint most goals thus far this season with a total of 10 thus far.
- Caufield has scored a goal in 8 of his 11 games this season.
- The 23-year-old ended last season as the Canadiens 2nd highest goalscorer with 28 in total.
The Pick
We are loving this pick and this scenario. The Montreal Canadiens might not be a Stanley Cup contender, but thus far, their young winger has been on fire in front of net and we believe his current odds at +150 to score anytime on home ice to be a strong set of odds, and we would happily bet this down to +120.
Although he has only scored twice in the past against Calgary, he has only faced them on six occasions. Give us Caufield to get back on the scoreboard in this NHL matchup.

Vancouver Canucks vs. Anaheim Ducks
Tuesday, November 05, 2024 – 10:00 PM at Honda Center
Poor Start For Anaheim
The Anaheim Ducks currently sit 2nd last in the Pacific Division (not hard to avoid being last when you are in the same division as San Jose) with an overall record of 4-7. The Ducks have struggled both offensively and defensively, scoring an average of 2.9 goals per game, they have allowed an average of 3 per game. They’re not scoring enough; defensively they have been okay, but many of their games tend to go under.
That said, tonight we are looking at the Vancouver Canucks to win on the PK line in Anaheim. The Canucks have won their previous four games on the road including an impressive win over the Florida Panthers and a 6-3 drumming of the Chicago Blackhawks.
Team & Betting Trends
- The Vancouver Canucks have won 4 of their previous 5 games at the Honda Center (failing to cover the spread once).
- Vancouver are 7-0 in their last 7 games against Anaheim.
- The total has gone under in 6 of Anaheim’s last 7 games.
- The total has gone under in 6 of Vancouver’s last 9 games.
The Pick
Although the stats are against our pick here, we still love the plus money available on the Vancouver Canucks to stay hot on the road. They might have a poor record at covering the spread on the road against Anaheim but have looked strong in recent road games going 4-0, they have covered the -1.5 PK line in two of those victories.
Anaheim have gone 2-2 at home thus far this season but failed to cover the spread in both home losses. Bet on the Canucks here At -1.5 for +130 betting odds.
They should win this game, and given the Ducks’ poor spread record in recent times, we are hoping to cash in on the +130 odds and would happily bet this down to +120.
