Canada vs USA Props – Anytime Goalscorer Picks for Men’s Gold Medal Game

• Canada faces USA in the Men’s Olympic Gold Medal Game on Sunday
• Jack Eichel leads the Americans in shots on goal, slot shots and inner shot slots
• See my favorite Canada vs USA props, including anytime goalscorer picks for the Men’s Gold Medal Game

Hockey’s best rivalry writes another chapter on Sunday morning as Canada and the USA meet for the gold medal in Men’s Olympic Hockey. These were the two pre-tournament favorites, and while the Canadians barely escaped elimination twice in recent days, the Americans have cruised into the final.

Online sportsbooks are expecting a low-scoring game with just a 5.5 goal total, but there are a few players that stand out when trying to identify the best anytime goalscorer picks. My favorite Canada vs USA props for the Men’s Gold Medal Game are below, along with the reasoning behind each selection.

Canada vs USA Anytime Goalscorer Odds

Connor McDavid currently boasts the shortest anytime goalscorer odds at +165, followed by Macklin Celebrini and Nathan MacKinnon. The three “Macs” were paired together in the latter half of Canada’s semifinal win over Finland, and the thought of having to face them all together for 60 minutes must be giving Connor Hellebuyck nightmares.

I’ll be backing MacKinnon as one of my Canada vs USA anytime goalscorer picks, but I’m starting my betting card with another wager on Jack Eichel to find the back of the net. To get standards bets on this game, read our

Canada vs USA Props #1: Jack Eichel Anytime Goalscorer

• Jack Eichel Anytime Goalscorer (+325 at Bet365)

Eichel paid off this bet for us in the semifinal, and now we’re getting double the odds on him to score again. He continues to be USA’s most dangerous player, leading the team in shots on goal, slot shots, inner slot shots and total chance contributions.

Jack Eichel Olympic Stats

Eichel led the Americans yet again in shots on goal in the semifinal, firing five pucks on net, including four from the slot. He also ranks number one among USA forwards in ice time, playing on the power play, and alongside the Tkachuk brothers in 5-on-5 situations. That’s by far the American’s best line, and the one that is most likely to damage against the Canadians, with Eichel leading the way.

Canada vs USA Props #2: Nathan MacKinnon Anytime Goalscorer

• Nathan MacKinnon Anytime Goalscorer (+180 at Bet365)

No one in the NHL has scored more goals than MacKinnon this year, and I’m shocked the former Hart Trophy odds winner doesn’t boast shorter anytime goalscorer odds, especially now when he might be playing beside McDavid for the bulk of the game.

MacKinnon has already scored four times in the tournament and has the third most shots on goal and slot shots among Canadian forwards. His patented one-timer sent Canada to the gold medal game, and it was clear that getting him the puck was the focal point of the Canadian power play.

Playing with McDavid greatly raises his scoring probability, as the Oilers star leads the tournament in points, assists and chance assists.

Canada vs USA Props #3: Jake Guentzel 1+ Points

• Jake Guentzel 1+Points (-115 at Bet365)

When it comes to finding value in the points market, one player sticks out like a sore thumb. Jake Guentzel currently has the seventh-longest odds among Americans to get on the scoresheet, but the advanced numbers suggest he should be priced much shorter.

Yes, he’s only recorded 1 point all tournament, but regression is coming his way. Among USA players, only Auston Matthews, Eichel and Jack Hughes have generated more chance contributions than Guentzel, and the Lightning forward leads all Americans in chances assists with 16.

Guentzel averages over a point per game with Tampa Bay, and was a point per game player with Team USA at the Four Nations Face-Off last year. He’s top-six among American forwards in ice-time, and a great bet to rack up a point versus the Canadians.
