In that game, another proficient goal scorer, Kirill Marchenko, buried a hat-trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> The Wild allow 30.7 shots per game and kill penalties at a below-average 75% rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:119293\">Embed: #119293<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NHL predictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Malkin to score a goal (+275):<\/strong> This is definitely a long shot pick, considering the price, but Malkin is worthy of a look with how he&#8217;s producing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The 39-year-old has five assists in three games, but he&#8217;s still looking for his first goal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>All five helpers were the primary assists. It doesn&#8217;t help this wager directly, but it helps paint a picture of how much offence Malkin is creating.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He plays over three minutes a night on the power play, which increases his chances of finding the back of the net.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And that goes before mentioning the matchup. The Pittsburgh Penguins play the Anaheim Ducks, who will struggle to defend this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On opening night, they allowed three goals vs. the Seattle Kraken.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In their second game, they conceded six in a 7-6 shootout win over the San Jose Sharks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To make it even worse, the Sharks only needed 23 shots to score that many times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a good spot for the Penguins to have an offensive explosion, and Malkin holds the best value of the bunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>NHL anytime goal picks made at 11:11 a.m. ET on 10\/14\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday&#8217;s eight-game NHL slate provides plenty of choices for anytime goal scorers.
