Two elite point producers contribute to Tuesday’s goalscorer picks.
The pregame narrative: Nathan MacKinnon leads the NHL in goals and has a nice opportunity to add another tally against the Anaheim Ducks. Also in the late-night slate, look for Kyle Connor to take advantage of a struggling Vancouver Canucks defence.

NHL goal picks Nov. 11
Best Bet: MacKinnon to score (-113)
MacKinnon isn’t often referred to as the best player in the NHL, but he’s arguably the most consistent.
He’s finished the last three seasons with at least 30 goals and 110 points. That includes a 51-goal season back in 2023-24.
This year, he’s on pace to smash that total.
MacKinnon leads the way with 14 goals. That’s an incredible 72-goal pace over an entire season.

Will he top the 70-goal mark? Probably not, but no one would be all that shocked if he did.
And this is a good matchup for him to add to his total.
The Ducks allow the eighth-most shots per game (30.0) and have a below average penalty kill (76.5%, 22nd).
Key stat: MacKinnon has eight goals in the past seven games.
NHL predictions
Connor to score (+128): The Winnipeg Jets are another team with a soft matchup on Tuesday.
And Connor leads the team in multiple categories:
- T-1st in goals (9)
- 1st in shots (58).
- 1st among forwards in ice time (20:25)

He should have many opportunities to do damage against a Canucks defence that is bottom-seven for goals and shots allowed with the second-worst penalty kill in the NHL (67.9%).
Vancouver has allowed three or more goals in six straight games, conceding an average of 4.2 goals during that time.
