Before that, he had three straight seasons of 40+ goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scary part is that he is only entering his prime at 28 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colombus will turn to Elvis Merzlikins in goal for their second game. He started 52 games for the Blue Jackets last season and had a below-average .892 SV% and 3.18 GAA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, he&#8217;s had worse than a .900 SV% for three straight seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Kaprizov put up a 50-goal pace in 2024-25, which would have ranked second behind Leon Draisaitl&#8217;s 53 goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:119121\">Embed: #119121<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/ice_hockey\/nhl?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=sportsbook_nhl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Full NHL betting markets<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/nhl-injury-report?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=injury_reports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NHL injury report<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nhl\/top-skaters?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=stats_pages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NHL stats &amp; standings<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NHL predictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Knies to score a goal (+200):<\/strong> With the departure of Mitch Marner and Knies&#8217; newly inked deal, the forward is expected to have a strong campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the season opener, the big winger played just under 20 minutes, which was the second most amongst Leafs&#8217; forwards behind only Auston Matthews.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Knies grabbed an assist and recorded two shots in that game.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He&#8217;s coming off a career year, scoring 29 goals and 58 points in his second full NHL season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Knies remains in a very advantageous position, playing on the first line with Matthews. He also plays the net front role on a loaded power play that also includes Morgan Rielly, John Tavares and William Nylander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That will lead to a lot of easy goals for Knies this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Detroit Wings got rocked 5-1 in their opener and seemingly have a goalie problem. They went to John Gibson in that game, and he got lit up for five goals on 17 shots by the Montreal Canadiens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Saturday, they will try their hand with Cam Talbot, who doesn&#8217;t project to be much better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He played the Leafs three times last season and had a dreadful .817 SV% and 4.13 GAA in those games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the opponent and opportunity, Knies has strong value at a 2-to-1 price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>NHL anytime goal picks made at 9:11 a.m. ET on 10\/11\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NHL makes a triumphant return on Saturday with every team in action.
