He has 16 points (six goals) in 13 games this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He plays a load of minutes (10th-most in the NHL among forwards) and is currently on a five-game point streak (three goals, six assists).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\"><strong>Bet on Bedard and the Blackhawks tonight<\/strong>!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s difficult to predict when a player will score, but the minutes volume certainly helps with an offensively gifted player of Bedard&#8217;s calibre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next part of this pick is fading the Vancouver Canucks&#8217; defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>10th-worst goals against average (3.21).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>9th-most shots against\/game (30.1).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>6th-worst penalty kill (69.4%).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Bedard leads the top line and first power-play unit. He should have his chances tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> The Canucks have allowed 3+ goals in five of the past six games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NHL predictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilson to score (+185):<\/strong> Washington&#8217;s power forward is going under the radar as an extremely productive player this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out where he ranks on the playoff-hopeful Capitals in some key stats:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1st in goals (6)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2nd in assists (7)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3rd in average ice time (19:34)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Join NorthStar Bets to bet on Wilson now<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilson also leads the team in penalty minutes, by a lot, showcasing that he truly does it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is also a great matchup to take advantage of. The St. Louis Blues allow 4.0 goals per game, which is the second-most in the NHL. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Blues have a 67.6% penalty kill rate (fifth-worst), and Wilson already has three power-play goals this season. It&#8217;s another area the big-bodied forward can take advantage of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>NHL goal picks made at 11:35 a.m. ET on 11\/05\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Sign up to NorthStar Bets today<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Connor Bedard is on a roll, and he headlines my NHL goal picks on Wednesday night.
