We've made it to the Conference Finals in the Stanley Cup playoffs, and with it comes a switch-up in our goal prop betting approach. Moving forward, we will primarily be focused on highlighting just two legs in an effort to deliver as many winning parlays as we can find. With just one game on deck each night, finding two goal scorers seems a lot more likely than nailing three.

However, for those looking for a larger payout, we'll also add in a third bonus name that you can choose to add to your parlay if you so desire. 

As always, consider playing these straight in addition to the parlay, as more often than not, it takes just one of our targets to come through at these prices to make it worth it. Consider moving your wager size down for these plays, between .25u and .5u, as it can be a fickle (but fun!) betting market.

Griffin Carroll primarily focuses on NHL player props, combining high-volume stats, inviting matchups, narrative-driven plays and advanced metrics to form his favorite parlays each day. This season alone, Carroll has hit on multiple goal scorer parlays, and as with any long-shot bet, it's important to bet each plus-money prop straight as well.

Our two favorite goal scorer targets for tonight's NHL slate, when parlayed, comes in at +1026 on FanDuel. If you tack on our bonus leg, you can get this to +2959 for tonight's Edmonton-Dallas Game 1. Our bonus prop tonight? Edmonton's Connor McDavid at +160.
