Check out Tony Sartori's expert NHL picks with anytime goalscorer predictions for Panthers vs. Oilers Game 4 on Saturday, June 15.

The Stanley Cup Final rolls on Saturday, and the latest Panthers vs. Oilers odds for Game 4 have the home side as a small favorite.

I have two NHL anytime goalscorer picks for tonight's game (8 p.m. ET, ABC & ESPN+), which you can find below.

Betting on NHL anytime goalscorers is simple enough: If your player scores a goal at any point in the game, your bet is a winner. MLB has its dingers; the NHL has its anytime goalscorers. And with both types of player props, the bets usually come with plus-money odds attached to them, so they're a favorite among all types of sports bettors.

Check out all of the analysis with my favorite anytime goalscorer predictions for Saturday's NHL postseason action below.

Panthers vs Oilers Game 4 Anytime Goalscorers

Aleksander Barkov (+300)

Florida Panthers forward Aleksander Barkov found the back of the net in Game 3, and I want to continue to back one of the team's best players.

It's nice whenever Barkov is able to score, because then he tends to get more of the attention that he deserves. He's absolutely shut down Connor McDavid defensively, which was the key to success for Florida in this series.

But that's not to take away from Barkov's offensive abilities, either. He's scored seven goals this postseason while adding 14 assists across 20 games.

This success is likely to continue against the Edmonton Oilers, considering that he's buried the puck six times over the past seven meetings between these two clubs.

I also want to continue to sell high on Edmonton goaltender Stuart Skinner, who's been overperforming this postseason and is due for regression.

That regression has started to develop through the first three games of this series, as he's posted a 0-3 record with a .868 SV% and 3.13 GAA.

Pick: Aleksander Barkov (+300 at FanDuel)

Sam Bennett (+380)

I'm risking a half-unit on Barkov to score, along with another half-unit on his teammate Sam Bennett.

I'm fairly confident that at least one of these two guys will find the back of the net, which would guarantee a profit. And, if both score – all the better.

That's exactly what happened in Game 3, as Bennett joined Barkov on the score sheet. At least one of these two forwards has scored in seven of Florida's past 12 games.

They both scored in two of those seven outings.

Bennett has been on fire, scoring in four of his past six games.

Like Barkov, Bennett has traditionally fared well against Edmonton, scoring five goals over the past seven meetings. Both guys scored in two of those seven outings.

Bennett also co-leads the Panthers in even-strength goals this postseason. I mention that stat because the Oilers rank 11th out of the 16 playoff teams this postseason in expected goals against per 60 minutes (xGA/60) at 5-on-5.

Pick: Sam Bennett (+380 at FanDuel)
