How often does an NHL player score when he is priced to?
One row per game with a player's anytime goal price, his goals and whether he scored, to set the odds beside what happened. Auston Matthews scored in 23 of 60.
Code verified October 19, 2026. One call to get_prop_history, 10 credits.
The call
player_id comes from search_players. Anytime goal scorer has no line: over means he scored, and the price is the yes side.
