Top NHL GIFT & Anytime Goal Scorer Prop Bet Picks: Tuesday (10/8)
Betting the GIFT (Goal In First Ten) is simple. Pick whether or not a game will have a goal scored in the first 10 minutes of play (00:00-09:59). It's that easy and all you have to do is root for anyone to score and you win. It is one area of hockey betting that has a nearly league-wide positive success rate with 93.75% of the league currently cashing at 50% or better last season.
Anytime Goal Scorer props are even easier. Pick a player to score and if they light the lamp at any point, you win!
As always: Tail me for cash, fade me for trash!

Tuesday’s Best GIFT & Anytime Goal Scorer Prop Bets
Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook
Chicago Blackhawks at Utah Hockey Club
Chicago will have Petr Mrazek in goal tonight and he finished last season with a 3.05 Goals Against Average and a .908 Save Percentage. He also carried an 18-31-4 record in 53 starts.
Utah will look to make a good impression on their new fans in Salt Lake City and get to Mrazek early and often.
On the other side of the ice, Connor Ingram led the NHL in shutouts last season with six, despite a second-half swoon. The last time these teams met, Ingram allowed six goals in a 7-4 loss.
Speaking of that loss. When these two teams last met on March 10 in Chicago, the GIFT cashed on a Clayton Keller goal at the 6:09 mark.
Pick: Goal In First Ten (-154)
