Which sportsbook has the best anytime goal scorer odds?

Quick answer

There was no clear lasting leader in our three-slate NHL sample. NoVig had the best listed anytime goal price on 159 of the 605 player-game prices it quoted, or 26.3%; bet365 on 155 of 597, or 26.0%; and FanDuel on 138 of 571, or 24.2%. Those are dated results from 7 to 9 October 2026, with ties included. Compare the same player's anytime price across the books available to you.

NoVig, bet365 and FanDuel were close at the top of our three-slate anytime goal price count. NoVig was best on 26.3% of its quotes, bet365 on 26.0% and FanDuel on 24.2%. That short window does not support a lasting best-book claim.

The useful result is the range of books worth comparing on each player. We counted 608 player-game anytime prices across 17 games, from the NHL slates of 7 to 9 October 2026.

One goal or more, with like-for-like quotes

This table counts a player’s anytime scorer market once per game. On our board that is over 0.5 goals. First scorer, two-plus goals and three-plus goals are different bets and are excluded.

We required quotes from at least three distinct book brands. The highest decimal odds count as best, including every book tied at that price.

The percentage is best prices divided by the prices that book quoted, not by all 608. Pinnacle’s 150 quotes and NoVig’s 605 cover different-sized menus. Ties can make the best counts add to more than the number of player-game prices.

bet365’s quotes are from its Ontario market. Prices in another jurisdiction can differ. The table compares listed prices before fees and does not measure the amount available at an exchange price. Confirm the terms and price where you can actually place the bet.

The highest price changed with the player

On the 9 October pre-noon board, Dylan Larkin’s anytime price was +170 at both bet365 and BetMGM, against +155 at DraftKings and +105 at Hard Rock Bet.

For a $100 stake, those listed odds correspond to $170, $155 and $105 in profit if the bet wins, before any fees. The best-to-lowest gap was $65, for the same player and market.

Alex DeBrincat’s highest listed price in the same game was at a different place: +144 at NoVig, against +130 at bet365 and DraftKings. BetMGM tied for Larkin’s best despite having a low aggregate best-price share. A low table position does not tell you to skip checking that book on your player.

This is a three-day count

NHL game dateGamesComparable anytime player-game prices
7 October 20263107
8 October 202610360
9 October 20264141

One saved board per game date, taken before noon Eastern. Hundreds of updates to one day’s prices do not become hundreds of slates. Players can recur across days, and the 8 October slate supplies more than half the observations.

The numbers come from the Steezanomics NHL board’s saved history, 7 to 9 October 2026. Morning coverage misses books that post later, and later price changes are not in the count. We merge duplicate brand labels, use each book’s main-market quote and exclude quotes marked as held from an earlier poll; no held main anytime quote occurred in this sample.

The leaders’ shares are close, their quoted menus differ, and the window is only three slates. We are reporting what these saved boards contained, not a stable ranking or a fair-price estimate. The separate NHL shots price comparison uses the same dates; NoVig led there too, but the books behind it ranked differently.

Quick answers

Which sportsbook had the best anytime goal scorer odds?

In our NHL sample of 7 to 9 October 2026, NoVig was best on 26.3% of the player-game prices it quoted, bet365 on 26.0% and FanDuel on 24.2%. The window is too short and the leaders too close to name a lasting winner.

How many NHL slates did you compare?

Three distinct game-date slates: 7, 8 and 9 October 2026. They contained 17 games and 608 player-game anytime prices quoted by at least three book brands, using one pre-noon saved board per day.

Does a two-goal prop count as anytime scorer?

No. This count uses only the one-or-more-goals market, represented on our board as over 0.5 goals. Two-plus and three-plus goal prices are excluded.

Are bet365's prices from Ontario?

Yes. The bet365 feed on our board comes from its Ontario market. A quote in another jurisdiction can differ, so confirm the price in the app you can use.

Is the best listed price the same as a good bet?

No. It pays more for the same winning result, subject to terms, fees and availability. This count does not estimate the player's chance of scoring or a fair price.
