How to use NHL Goalscorers • Unjuiced Help Center

Open Goalscorers. Anytime goalscorer is one of the most popular hockey bets, and one of the hardest to research: even the best scorers find the net in only about a third of their games. This board puts the things that matter on one row: how many good chances a player gets, which goalie they will face, how they've done lately, and the best price.

The NHL Goalscorers board: each skater with their line and power-play unit, the goalie they face, the last 10 games as squares, goals in the last 10, the opponent's expected goals against and the best anytime price. — Anytime goalscorer, ordered by expected goals a game.Sample data

Anytime or first goal

The switch at the top picks the bet:

Anytime: the player scores at any point in the game (overtime usually counts; check your book).
First goal: the player scores the game's first goal. It pays much more because only one player can win it.

Reading a row

Player: name, position, and their deployment, for example LW · L1 · PP1: left wing on the first line and the first power-play unit. Top-line and PP1 players get the most ice time and the best chances.
Goalie faced: the projected starter in the other net, with their GSAx a start (goals saved above expected). A positive number means the goalie has been stopping more than an average goalie would; negative means they've been leaking goals.
Last 10 · goals: one square per game, oldest left. Green means a goal ("2" for two). A quiet gray square is a game without one, which is normal for every scorer.
Scored · L10: games with a goal out of the last 10. The color uses scoring's own scale: 50%+ is excellent, 30% is a normal night for a top forward.
Opp. xGA: how many expected goals the opponent allows a game, ranked of 32. 32nd allows the most, which is green (a soft defense for a shooter).
Price: the best anytime price and the book offering it. All odds lists every book.

Your first five minutes

The How goalscorers works panel, explaining order, the matchup, scored, first goal, last 10, small samples and price. — How it works, top right, explains every column in a sentence or two.Sample data

First goal, explained

Anytime, then First goal: the same players, a different bet.Sample data

On First goal the board shows the best first-goal price and how often the player scored the game's first goal, for example "3 in 20": 3 of the last 20 games. Team 1st is how often the player's team scores first. First-goal rates are small for everyone, so the sheet doesn't color them.

Tips for newer bettors

Expect to lose most nights. A 30% scorer at +250 can still be a fair bet, but they will miss most games. Bet amounts you're comfortable losing several times in a row.
Chances beat streaks. A player getting lots of good chances (high ixG) who hasn't scored lately is often a better bet than a hot player who has been lucky.
Watch the power play. PP1 players score a big share of their goals with the man advantage. Teams that draw penalties help.
Pair it. If you like a scorer, Point correlation shows which teammate usually gets the assist.

Troubleshooting

A player has no price: no book is posting their anytime line right now.
The goalie looks wrong: projections update through the day. Check again closer to puck drop.
A small sample: with fewer than 5 games, the count sits on a plain gray pill and sorts after everyone else, under its own heading.
